U+8540 "蕀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8540 "蕀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, representing a relatively rare or specialized Chinese character. Its meaning is associated with a type of plant, specifically referring to the "tribulus terrestris" or puncture vine, a thorny weed whose fruit is known in traditional medicine. In various historical and regional usages, this character can also denote thorns or prickly plants more broadly, though it appears far less frequently in modern texts compared to more common plant characters. Its composition, as is typical for many CJK characters, includes a radical related to grass or vegetation combined with a phonetic component.
