U+851B "蔛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+851B "蔛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or classical texts rather than modern standard Chinese. It is composed of the radical meaning "grass" or "herb" combined with a phonetic component, and its traditional meaning relates to a type of aquatic plant, specifically referring to certain edible algae or water weeds described in ancient herbals. This character has no common modern usage in everyday writing or speech, and it is preserved largely for specialist linguistic or lexicographic purposes in referencing pre-modern Chinese literature.
