Unicode Version 17.0

蔯

U+852F "蔯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an East Asian character used predominantly in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, representing a plant or herb. It is primarily identified as an archaic or variant form of the character 陳 (chén), which can mean "to display," "to state," or "old/aged," and in some contexts refers specifically to a type of medicinal herb or a kind of mugwort. This ideograph is composed of the radical for grass (艹) combined with the phonetic component 陳, indicating its botanical association. While not commonly used in modern standard texts, it appears in classical literature, historical documents, and certain specialized or traditional references. The character is assigned to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode standard, encoding its place within the broader representation of traditional Chinese culture and writing systems.
