U+856C "蕬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕬
U+856C "蕬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) whose traditional meaning relates to "string" or "filament," specifically referencing the fibers or threads of certain plants, such as the thin, clinging strands of algae or moss. It is predominantly used in classical or literary contexts rather than in modern everyday language, and it often appears in compound words associated with vegetation or fine, threadlike structures. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) on top, indicating its botanical association, and a phonetic component underneath that provides clues to its pronunciation.
