U+8646 "虆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虆
U+8646 "虆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of creeping or climbing plant, specifically a vine. It is composed of the radical for "grass" or "plant" (艹) combined with other components, and its meaning can extend to something that is entangled or intertwined, like vines in a thicket. In classical texts, the character occasionally appears in descriptions of overgrowth or in names of plants, though it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese or Japanese. This ideograph is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing a historical but largely obscure term from literary sources.
