U+842A "萪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+842A "萪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and simplified written Chinese. Its primary meaning relates to a type of plant or vine, specifically referring to a kind of creeper or climbing plant often identified with certain species in botanical contexts, such as the kudzu or similar flora. This character is composed of a grass or plant radical (艹) on top, indicating its botanical association, and a phonetic component on the bottom. While not among the most common characters in everyday modern Chinese, it appears in classical texts, botanical names, and some regional dialects, contributing to the rich lexicon of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) scripts where characters share historical and semantic roots.
