U+8565 "蕥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8565 "蕥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character belonging to the broad category of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideographs, which are logograms used in the written forms of these languages. Its structure combines a grass radical indicating a plant-related meaning with a phonetic component, yet it is not a common character in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean texts. Instead, "蕥" is primarily encountered in historical or classical contexts, often associated with the yi tonal readings in Chinese, where it has limited usage in older literature or specialized dictionaries. This character exemplifies the vast repository of CJK ideographs that preserve historical or regional vocabulary, though its precise meaning and application remain obscure outside of scholarly or etymological study.
