U+8454 "葔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
葔
U+8454 "葔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character categorized under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, and it primarily functions as a component in Classical Chinese texts. Its historical usage appears in ancient dictionaries and literary works, often representing a type of medicinal herb or a term related to plants, though its exact meaning has largely faded from modern usage. The character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) on top, indicating its botanical association, and a phonetic component (侯) that provides pronunciation clues. Today, it is mainly of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and paleography rather than everyday communication.
