About
As a phono-semantic compound, 茷 uses the top radical 艹 (grass) to indicate its botanical meaning, while the lower component 伐 provides the phonetic cue. The character has two primary meanings: it can describe the dense, luxuriant growth of plant foliage, or, in classical military and ceremonial contexts, it refers to the decorative streamers or trailing pennants attached to flags and banners.
