U+8647 "虇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8647 "虇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of bamboo shoot, often specifically denoting the young, tender shoots of bamboo that grow in water or marshy areas. In classical Chinese texts, it can also carry a secondary meaning related to the sound of wind blowing through bamboo or reeds. This character is composed of the radical "虍" (tiger) on top and the phonetic component "卷" (to roll or curl) below, though its usage is extremely limited in modern Chinese, appearing mostly in ancient literature, specialized botanical contexts, or as a component in historical names.
