U+8290 "芐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8290 "芐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "lower part of clothing" or "inside of clothes," and it is also historically used as a phonetic loan for a type of medicinal plant, specifically the root of Rehmannia glutinosa (often referring to the herb di huang). This ideograph belongs to the Kangxi radical 140 (艸, meaning grass or plant) and has 8 total strokes in its composition, blending the semantic component of plant life with a phonetic element. The character is relatively rare in modern Chinese usage but appears in classical texts and traditional medicine contexts, contributing to the extensive CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set designed to encode East Asian writing systems.
