U+8305 "茅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the cogongrass plant, a type of perennial grass historically used for thatching roofs in East Asia. In modern Chinese, it appears in words like "茅台" (Moutai), referring to the famous liquor from Guizhou province, and can also denote a surname or a humble cottage. Its form combines the grass radical with the character for "spear," hinting at the plant's sharp leaves. The character is used in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese scripts, and it appears in Japanese and Korean contexts as well, often with similar meanings related to grass or thatch.
