U+843B "萻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+843B "萻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or specialized texts, representing a plant or herb, though its exact botanical reference is not widely documented in modern Chinese dictionaries. Its structure combines a radical related to grass or vegetation with a phonetic component, fitting the common pattern of ideographs describing flora. Due to its infrequency in contemporary usage, the character is mostly encountered in classical literature, ancient manuscripts, or technical character databases rather than everyday writing, making it a niche glyph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character set.
