U+8629 "蘩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8629 "蘩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in Classical Chinese and Japanese Kanji, representing the name of a type of edible herb or plant, specifically referring to the Artemisia or mugwort species, such as Artemisia vulgaris, which is sometimes identified with the "white mugwort" or "wormwood." In ancient texts, it appears in the context of botanical references and poetic descriptions, often symbolizing resilience or wild growth, and is distinct from the more common character "蒿" (wormwood). This character is rarely used in modern daily writing but remains a part of historical literature and specialized botanical terminology.
