U+8325 "茥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8325 "茥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that typically refers to a type of plant, often identified in classical texts as a kind of wild berry or a specific herb, though its exact botanical referent can vary by historical period and usage. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 140 (艸, grass) with an additional 6 strokes, making it a relatively obscure or literary character rather than a common modern word. The glyph combines the "grass" radical with a phonetic component (圭, guī) and appears in classical dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is associated with a berry that may be similar to a mulberry or a raspberry, often used in traditional Chinese medicine contexts. This character is rarely encountered in everyday writing, reserved instead for specialized scholarly or poetic references.
