U+8459 "葙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
葙
U+8459 "葙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in modern and classical written Chinese, where it represents a type of plant, specifically the "azalea" or a related herbaceous species, though its usage is relatively rare in common contemporary texts. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoding a logogram that may appear in historical or botanical references. Its structure combines the radical for grass or plant (艹) with the phonetic component "相" (xiāng), which provides a clue to its pronunciation as xiāng in Mandarin.
