U+8617 "蘗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蘗

U+8617 "蘗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of tree or plant, specifically the cork tree or the bitter orange tree (Phellodendron amurense), and it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine to denote certain medicinal barks or sprouts, such as the shoots of bamboo or the buds of a plant that have been forced to sprout in darkness. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and is distinguished by its intricate structure of 20 strokes, composed of the "艹" (grass radical) combined with other elements that suggest a woody or botanical nature. In modern usage, it is relatively rare and may be encountered in specialized botanical, historical, or literary contexts rather than in everyday language.
