U+8649 "虉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虉
U+8649 "虉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of grass or herb mentioned in ancient classical texts. Specifically, it is defined as a kind of wormwood or an artemisia-like plant, sometimes associated with the term "虉草" in historical botanical references. This character is composed of the radical "艸" (grass) on top, with a phonetic component beneath, indicating its involvement in traditional plant taxonomy. Due to its obscurity and infrequent use in modern Chinese or Japanese, it is largely encountered in specialized philological studies or historical dictionaries rather than everyday writing.
