U+8587 "薇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薇
U+8587 "薇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the Osmunda regalis, a type of fern, or more generally to small flowering plants and vines, such as the common vetch or wild pea. It is a component of the compound word "蔷薇" (qiángwēi), which means "rose," and appears in classical Chinese poetry and literature as a symbol of delicate beauty and transience. In modern usage, it is also found in Japanese kanji (bara, "rose") and Korean hanja (mi), retaining its botanical connotations across East Asian languages.
