U+8573 "蕳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8573 "蕳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning a type of fragrant herb or orchid, and in classical texts it is sometimes associated with the concept of purity or medicinal plants. This ideograph is composed of the radical for grass and the phonetic component "間" (jian), and it appears in historical Chinese literature, including references in the ancient pharmacopoeia "Shennong Bencao Jing" and in poetry, where it may denote a specific herb or be used symbolically. Its usage in modern Chinese is rare, though it remains part of the CJK unified character set for encoding East Asian scripts.
