Unicode Version 17.0
蕘
U+8558 "蕘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a type of firewood or brushwood, often referring to grass or small wood used for fuel. In classical Chinese literature, it appears in contexts related to gathering fuel or as a metaphor for humble or rustic origins, as seen in the idiom "蕘豎" which can denote a woodcutter or a person of low social status. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and the phonetic component 堯, and it is not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese, but remains significant in historical and literary texts.
