U+8422 "萢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

萢

U+8422 "萢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively rare Chinese character composed of the grass radical (艹) and a phonetic component, primarily used in the context of traditional botany and regional plant names. In standard Mandarin, it is pronounced "pào" and can refer to certain types of plants or berries, such as the wild raspberry or similar fruit-bearing shrubs found in East Asia. This character appears in classical and agricultural texts rather than modern common usage, and its meaning is closely tied to natural flora, often denoting plants that produce small, aggregate fruits. While not frequently encountered in contemporary writing, it remains a valid part of the Unicode standard for representing historical or specialized botanical terminology.
