Unicode Version 17.0
葛
U+845B "葛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of climbing plant, specifically the kudzu vine, whose fibers have historically been used to make coarse cloth or rope. Beyond its botanical meaning, the character carries broader cultural significance, appearing in classical texts and common idioms, and is also a component in personal names and place names within Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts. In modern usage, it can additionally denote a relationship of entanglement or interference in certain compound words, reflecting its origins in the vine’s tendency to spread and intertwine.
