U+8373 "荳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
荳
U+8373 "荳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to legumes or beans, specifically a variant form of the more common character "豆" (dòu). In classical and modern usage, it often denotes a type of pulse or bean plant, and it appears in compound words such as "荳蔻" (dòu kòu) meaning cardamom, a spice derived from the seeds of certain plants. The character is composed of the radical "艹" (grass or plant) atop the phonetic component "豆", reflecting its botanical significance. In Japanese, it is used in the same sense, while in Korean, it is a relatively rare character with similar reference to beans.
