U+847E "葾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+847E "葾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that primarily denotes a type of plant, specifically referring to the herb "Polygala," which is used in traditional Chinese medicine for its calming and cognitive-enhancing properties, though it can also be associated with the concept of "overgrown vegetation" or "rank grass" more broadly. This character is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) and the phonetic component "爰" (yuán), and it appears in classical Chinese texts, particularly in medicinal or botanical writings, though it is relatively rare in modern everyday usage. Its original meaning has been preserved in specialized contexts, such as in the name of a traditional remedy for anxiety and memory loss.
