U+8478 "葸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8478 "葸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally carries meanings related to fear, timidity, or a state of being intimidated or cowering, though it can also refer to a type of plant or herb in classical contexts. In modern Mandarin, it is most commonly used in the compound word "葸葸" to describe a nervous or fidgety demeanor, and it appears in classical texts such as the Analects of Confucius, where it describes a respectful yet apprehensive posture. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) suggesting its botanical origin, combined with the phonetic component "思" (sī, meaning thought or longing), reflecting its evolution from a plant name to an abstract emotional concept.
