U+8432 "萲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
萲
U+8432 "萲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used primarily in classical or literary contexts, with its meaning often associated with the concept of "forgetfulness" or "to forget," as it appears in compounds like "萲草" (xuān cǎo), which refers to the daylily, a plant traditionally symbolizing the easing of sorrow or the forgetting of worries. This character is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) on top and the phonetic component "萱" (xuān) below, though it is considered a variant or alternate form of the more common character "萱" (U+8431). Its usage is relatively rare in modern simplified Chinese, appearing more in historical texts, poetry, or specialized botanical references.
