U+8642 "虂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8642 "虂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that falls under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, representing a historical or obscure logograph primarily found in classical Chinese texts. Its composition includes the radical "虍" (tiger) and a phonetic component "路" (lu), and while its exact meaning is not definitively established in modern usage, it is believed to refer to a type of plant or vegetation, possibly a kind of herb or grass, based on its appearance in ancient dictionaries like the Kangxi Zidian. The character is not commonly used in contemporary Chinese writing, making it a specialized glyph of interest primarily to linguists, etymologists, or scholars studying archaic script.
