蔙
U+8519 "蔙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character used primarily in classical or specialized contexts, where it denotes a type of plant or herb, often associated with the meaning of a kind of spinach or leafy green. This character is not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese, but it appears in historical texts, botanical references, or traditional medical writings. It is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) combined with the phonetic element 旋 (xuán), which influences its pronunciation.
