U+8467 "葧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8467 "葧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in classical and modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts, though it is extremely rare in common usage. It is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) atop the phonetic component 勃, and its primary meaning is a type of water plant, specifically the water chestnut or a similar aquatic herb, often glossed as "bulrush" or "calamus" in historical dictionaries. In Chinese, it appears in the compound "葧荠" (bóqí), an alternate name for the water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis), while in Japanese it is associated with the burdock-like plant "ゴボウ" (gobō) in rare readings. Overall, this character represents a specific botanical term that is largely confined to specialized botanical texts or classical literature rather than everyday language.
