U+84B9 "蒹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Kanji in Japanese, Hanja in Korean) that primarily refers to a type of aquatic plant, specifically the reed or rush known as the "common reed" or "Phragmites australis" before it flowers. In classical Chinese literature, notably in the "Book of Songs" (Shijing), it appears in the famous line "蒹葭苍苍," where it evokes imagery of lush, dew-covered reeds and is used metaphorically to express longing or the elusive nature of a beloved person. The character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) indicating its botanical meaning, combined with the phonetic component "兼" (jiān).
