U+8550 "蕐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕐
U+8550 "蕐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or archaic form of the more common character 華, which traditionally conveys meanings related to splendor, flourishing, or the essence of China (as in 中華, "China" or "Chinese civilization"). In classical texts or specialized contexts, it may appear in names or poetic references, though it is rarely used in modern standard Mandarin, where 華 dominates. Its composition combines the "grass" radical (艹) with a phonetic and structural element associated with flowers or brilliance, linking it conceptually to botanical beauty and cultural refinement.
