U+82CE "苎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+82CE "苎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in modern and classical texts, representing a type of plant, specifically "Boehmeria nivea," commonly known as ramie or Chinese silk plant, whose fibers are traditionally used to make a strong, linen-like fabric. In its simplified form, it is the standard character for this plant in mainland Chinese writing, while in traditional Chinese, the character is often written as 苧.
