U+846D "葭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of reed, specifically the young shoot of the common reed (Phragmites australis), and it is often used in classical Chinese literature and poetry to evoke imagery of early spring or water's edge. In ancient texts, it also appears in idioms and phrases, such as "蒹葭苍苍" from the Classic of Poetry, which paints a scene of lush reeds in morning dew. While less common in modern everyday usage, the character retains cultural and literary significance, and it is also used in Japanese as a kanji (read as "ashi" or "ogawa") to mean reed.
