U+8628 "蘨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8628 "蘨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character primarily used in classical or historical texts rather than modern standard Mandarin. Its meaning is tied to the concept of a "lush growth of plants" or "prosperous vegetation," often referring to thriving grasses or weeds. Composed of the radical for grass (艹) with multiple stacked components suggesting abundance or density, it appears in ancient literary works and dictionaries as a descriptive term for verdant landscapes. Due to its obscurity, it is seldom encountered in everyday writing, making it of greater interest to scholars of Chinese etymology and calligraphy than to general readers.
