U+8405 "萅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8405 "萅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that serves as a variant of the more common character "春" (chūn), meaning "spring" or the season of renewal. This ideograph, composed of the grass radical (艹) and phonetic components, primarily appears in ancient or classical Chinese texts, particularly in historical documents or poetry where scribes used alternative forms. Its use is now largely obsolete in modern Standard Chinese, but it remains preserved in digital Unicode standards to maintain fidelity to historical written sources and specialized scholarly contexts.
