U+8555 "蕕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕕
U+8555 "蕕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in literary and historical contexts, often referring to a type of plant or herb, specifically identified in ancient texts as a species of grass or weed with a bitter taste, commonly linked to the plant known as "Caryopteris" or similar aromatic herbs. It appears in classical Chinese poetry and philosophical works, sometimes metaphorically representing unpleasant or undesirable qualities due to its bitterness. In modern usage, this character is rare and primarily found in specialized linguistic or historical studies, as it has largely fallen out of common written communication.
