U+829D "芝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
芝
U+829D "芝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in multiple East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it primarily represents the "sesame" plant or, by extension, a type of fragrant herb or mushroom, such as the shiitake mushroom in Japanese (where it is part of the word "kinoko"). In its traditional Chinese form, it appears in the compound "芝蔴" (zhīma) meaning sesame, and it also carries symbolic connotations of longevity or rarity, often appearing in classical texts and place names. The character is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) atop a phonetic component (之), linking it to natural vegetation.
