Unicode Version 17.0
萘
U+8418 "萘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is known in modern usage primarily as the chemical term for naphthalene, a white crystalline compound used in mothballs and industrial processes. In classical texts and other contexts, it can also refer to a type of plant or herb, though this use is less common today. The character is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) indicating its botanical origins and a phonetic component, reflecting its structure as a traditional ideogram that has been repurposed for scientific vocabulary.
