What 茝 means
It is a compatibility form of 茝, not a different word.
茝 is read chǎi in Mandarin and names a fragrant herb. In the classical poem Li Sao, it appears beside 蕙; traditional readings treat the poem’s fragrant plants as images of integrity.
茝 belongs to the supplement retained for round-trip conversion with CNS 11643, a legacy Chinese character-set standard.
