萠

U+8420 "萠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) primarily used in East Asian languages such as Japanese and Chinese. It is composed of the grass radical (艹) and the phonetic component 明, and its meanings are generally associated with the concept of sprouting or budding, often used in Japanese contexts to describe the growth of plants or the emergence of something new. In Japanese, it is read as "moe" and can appear in names or terms like "moe" (萌え) meaning budding or a sense of budding affection, though the character itself is less common in modern Simplified Chinese usage.
