U+852B "蔫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蔫
U+852B "蔫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to wilting, fading, or becoming listless, often used to describe plants or flowers that have lost their freshness and vigor due to lack of water or age. In a broader metaphorical sense, it can also depict a person's spirit or mood as being deflated, tired, or subdued. This ideograph is composed of the radical for grass or plant, indicating its botanical association, combined with a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin as "nian". Its usage appears in literary contexts to evoke imagery of decline or languor, and it forms part of compound words such as "蔫了" (to wilt) or "蔫头耷脑" (downhearted and listless).
