U+863D "蘽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+863D "蘽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that refers to a type of vine plant, specifically the "creeper" or "woody vine" often associated with species like kudzu or other climbing plants in classical texts. It appears in historical Chinese literature and dictionaries, such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as a creeping or twining plant that can climb over trees or structures. In modern usage, this character is rare and largely confined to specialized botanical or historical contexts, rather than everyday language. Its composition includes the "艹" (grass) radical to indicate its association with plants, alongside the phonetic component "虺" which suggests a connection to sounds or meanings related to creeping or spreading growth.
