U+851F "蔟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蔟

U+851F "蔟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character composed of the grass radical and the phonetic component "族", primarily meaning a silkworm bed or frame used for rearing silkworms, as well as the straw or brush bundles that silkworms climb onto to spin their cocoons. In extended usage, it can also denote a cluster, thicket, or a general sense of gathering or assembling, with its cultural and agricultural significance rooted in sericulture, where it appears in classical texts and modern Chinese vocabulary related to silk production. The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is recognized in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, though its modern frequency is relatively specialized and tied to historical craftsmanship.
