U+862C "蘬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蘬

U+862C "蘬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that traditionally refers to a type of plant, specifically identified in classical texts as a kind of medicinal herb or vegetable, sometimes associated with the "asparagus" family or a similar climbing plant. Its structure consists of the radical for grass or plant, indicating its botanical nature, combined with a phonetic component. This character is not commonly used in modern Mandarin or everyday writing, and its appearance is largely confined to historical dictionaries, ancient literature, or specialized linguistic studies, making it a curiosity for scholars of classical Chinese and paleography.
