U+843C "萼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the calyx of a flower, specifically the sepals that enclose and protect the flower bud. In botanical terms, it refers to the leafy structure at the base of a flower's petals. Beyond its literal meaning, the character also appears in classical Chinese literature and poetry as a component in compound words, often associated with floral imagery or the natural world. Its usage is not limited to scientific contexts; it also carries cultural and aesthetic significance in traditional East Asian art and writing, where it evokes notions of growth, protection, and the beauty of blossoming plants.
