U+8563 "蕣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕣
U+8563 "蕣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that refers to the hibiscus flower, specifically the Hibiscus syriacus, which is also known as the rose of Sharon or shrubby althaea. In classical Chinese literature and poetry, "蕣" often symbolizes fleeting beauty or ephemeral glory, because the hibiscus blossom blooms vibrantly but lasts only a single day. This character is composed of the radical for grass or plant, indicating its botanical nature, and the phonetic component "舜" which contributes to its pronunciation. Historically, it appears in ancient texts such as the "Book of Songs" and later poetic works, where it conveys themes of transience and the poignant loveliness of the natural world.
