Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+8340 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a surname, most famously associated with the ancient Confucian philosopher Xunzi, also known as Xun Kuang, who lived during the Warring States period. Beyond its use as a family name, it appears in classical texts and historical contexts, particularly in references to scholarly or aristocratic lineages. The character is formed from the grass radical "艹" indicating a plant or herb, combined with the phonetic component "旬," though its modern usage is largely confined to proper names rather than common vocabulary.
