Meanings and usage

noun: jasmine (bound form, as in 茉莉), character used in female given names
茉莉

The character has no independent meaning on its own; Wiktionary lists it as occurring only bound in 茉莉 (jasmine) and as an element in female personal names/transliterations, and it is unclear which use is most salient in Teochew.
