蓍
U+84CD "蓍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to the yarrow plant (Achillea millefolium), whose dried stalks were historically used in ancient Chinese divination practices, particularly with the I Ching (Book of Changes), where fifty yarrow stalks were manipulated to generate hexagrams for fortune-telling. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and carries cultural significance beyond its literal botanic meaning, symbolizing wisdom, fate, and spiritual guidance in East Asian philosophical traditions.
