U+8415 "萕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8415 "萕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character that typically appears in classical or specialized texts, where it is associated with meanings related to certain plants or grassy vegetation, often depicting a type of herb or weed. Its structure combines a radical meaning "grass" or "plant" with a phonetic component, reflecting the common pattern in CJK characters where a semantic element suggests the general category of meaning while a phonetic element hints at pronunciation. Due to its infrequent use in modern standard Chinese, "萕" is primarily encountered in literary works, historical documents, or technical lexicons, and it may also appear in Japanese or Korean contexts that draw on classical Chinese written forms, though its specific reading and usage can vary across these languages.
