U+8597 "薗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

薗

U+8597 "薗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it primarily functions as an alternative or variant form of the character 園, meaning "garden" or "park." It appears in historical texts and personal names, particularly in Japanese contexts, and is composed of the radical for grass (艹) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its association with cultivated green spaces. Unlike the more common 園, this character is less frequently used in modern standard Chinese, but it retains a presence in specialized or archaic usage, as well as in some East Asian surname records.
