葥
U+8465 "葥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally refers to a type of plant, specifically the climbing herb known as "葥" or "arrowroot" in some botanical contexts, though its precise modern usage can be obscure. In classical Chinese texts, it is sometimes associated with the plant "Pueraria lobata" (kudzu) or a similar vine, and it appears in ancient lexicons such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as a creeping or thorny shrub. Today, this character is rarely used common modern writing and is more often encountered in historical or specialized linguistic studies. Its Unicode encoding ensures its digital preservation for scholarly and typographic purposes.
