U+8502 "蔂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蔂

U+8502 "蔂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of vine or climbing plant, often associated with the kudzu or similar creeping vegetation, and in classical texts it can denote a carrying basket or container made from woven vines or bamboo. This character is composed of the grass radical (艹) atop the phonetic component 累, and it appears in historical Chinese literature, including works such as the Erya, where it describes specific plants used in traditional contexts. In modern usage, 蔂 remains relevant in botanical terminology and certain regional dialects, though it is less common in everyday simplified Chinese writing, where it is occasionally replaced by simpler variants or synonymous terms.
