U+828B "芋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
芋
U+828B "芋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the taro plant, a starchy root vegetable widely cultivated in Asia and the Pacific Islands for culinary use, known for its brown, hairy exterior and white or purple flesh. In written Chinese and Japanese, it can also appear in compound words related to other tuberous or root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes or certain yams, and it carries a secondary meaning as the character for "potato" in some contexts, though its core semantic association remains with the taro plant.
