U+8414 "萔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8414 "萔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character, classified under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, which encompasses characters used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems. This grapheme typically represents a plant or grass-related term, as its radical (艹, grass) suggests, though its precise meaning and usage are not widely documented in modern dictionaries or texts, and it may appear only in specialized historical or classical literature. Its structure consists of the grass radical atop the phonetic component “臼” or a related variant, indicating a possible ancient or regional connotation. Due to its infrequency, the character is often unsupported in standard fonts, making it a challenge for digital rendering and a point of interest for those studying rare Sinographs or Unicode encoding.
