U+857F "蕿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蕿

U+857F "蕿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character used primarily in classical or historical texts, where it functions as a variant form of the more common character "萱" (xuān), which refers to the daylily plant, traditionally associated with motherhood and the alleviation of sorrow in Chinese culture. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, encoded for use in digital text to represent a specific logographic symbol from the shared East Asian writing tradition. Its exact usage may appear in specialized literary contexts, such as ancient poetry or botanical references, though it is not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing.
