U+8544 "蕄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8544 "蕄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that appears in historical and classical texts, though it is not commonly used in modern Chinese. This ideograph is composed of radical components typically associated with plants or vegetation, such as the grass radical, and its overall structure suggests meanings related to dense or tangled growth, often describing a state of being overgrown or luxuriant. In addition to its semantic range in Chinese, the character has a corresponding reading in Japanese, where it may appear in specialized or literary contexts. Because of its obscurity, "蕄" is not found in standard everyday vocabulary but holds significance for scholars of ancient Chinese script and those studying the full repository of CJK unified ideographs within the Unicode standard.
