萎

U+840E "萎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of withering, wilting, or decaying, often used in contexts relating to plants losing vitality or, by extension, describing decline or atrophy in more abstract senses such as moral degeneration or economic downturn. It appears as a component in various compounds, like “萎靡” meaning listless or dispirited, and is classified under the radical for grass (艹) combined with the phonetic element 委, reflecting its agricultural and botanical origins. This character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, supporting its use in traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean scripts, where it retains similar connotations of fading or weakening.
