U+9B31 "鬱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鬱
U+9B31 "鬱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character traditionally used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it conveys meanings related to lush vegetation, dense growth, melancholy, or deep depression. In modern Chinese, it appears in words like 抑鬱 (depression) and 鬱鬱蔥蔥 (lush and green), while in Japanese it is similarly associated with gloom or abundance. The character is notoriously difficult to write by hand due to its high stroke count of 29 and intricate internal structure combining elements like wood, spirits, and vessels, making it a notable example of complexity among CJK characters.
