U+8578 "蕸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8578 "蕸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character traditionally classified as a plant radical character, specifically associated with a type of water plant or lotus leaf, often interpreted as the leaf of the lotus or a related aquatic herb in classical texts. Its usage primarily appears in historical or literary contexts rather than modern standard Chinese, and it is sometimes defined as meaning "the leaf of the water lily" or simply "lotus leaf." The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) on top, indicating its botanical nature, and the phonetic component 叚, which contributes to its pronunciation, typically read as xiá in Mandarin. Due to its rarity, it is not commonly encountered in everyday writing or digital communication.
