U+8453 "葓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8453 "葓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used in written Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja, known in pinyin as hóng. It is a complex ideograph that falls under the radical for "grass" or "plant" (艸/艹) and contains the phonetic component "洪" (hóng, meaning "flood" or "vast"). Historically, this character refers to a type of water plant or aquatic vegetable, specifically Polygonum orientale, also known as Prince's feather or smartweed, a tall flowering plant that grows near water. Its usage is relatively rare in modern standard Chinese, appearing more often in classical texts or botanical contexts to denote this specific plant species.
