U+74DF "瓟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
瓟
U+74DF "瓟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji/hanja) that primarily refers to a type of gourd or calabash, specifically the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria). This character combines the radical for "melon" or "gourd" (瓜) with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi dictionary, where it is defined as a kind of gourd plant. While uncommon in modern everyday usage, it retains relevance in historical literature and botanical contexts, sometimes used as a variant of the more common character 匏 (páo), which also denotes the bottle gourd and its use as a drinking vessel or musical instrument in ancient Chinese culture.
