U+8509 "蔉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蔉
U+8509 "蔉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that is rarely used in modern writing, primarily referring to an agricultural implement or the action of weeding and turning soil, similar to a hoe or plow. It appears in classical texts, such as the ancient Chinese dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is defined as a tool for removing weeds and loosening earth in fields. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and a phonetic component (滚's simplified form), reflecting its connection to farming practices in traditional Chinese culture.
