Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8466 "葦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing a reed or rush, specifically the common reed plant in the genus Phragmites, which is often used in traditional weaving, thatching, and writing materials. In East Asian languages, it is pronounced as "wěi" in Mandarin Chinese and "ashi" in Japanese, and it appears in classical poetry and literature as a symbol of fragility, resilience, or autumn landscapes. The character is composed of the radical for grass or vegetation (艹) on top, combined with a phonetic component related to "wei" meaning to act or do, though its primary meaning remains tied to the aquatic plant.
