U+84BA "蒺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蒺
U+84BA "蒺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character classified under the radical for grass or plants (艹). It is primarily used as a component in the compound word "蒺藜" (jí lí), which refers to the puncture vine or caltrop, a hardy, thorny plant known for its spiny fruit that can puncture tires or skin. In a broader cultural context, this character can also symbolize obstacles or defensive barriers, drawing from the plant's historical use in warfare as a caltrop to impede cavalry or infantry. Its structure combines the grass radical with the phonetic component "疾" (jí, meaning illness or speed), reflecting both its botanical classification and its sharp, harmful nature.
