U+83C2 "菂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
菂
U+83C2 "菂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a type of aquatic plant, specifically the seed or pod of the lotus, often used in classical literature or botanical contexts. It is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) and a phonetic component, and its pronunciation in Mandarin is approximately "dì" or "lì" depending on regional usage. This character appears in historical texts and poetry, where it symbolizes purity or natural beauty due to its lotus association, though it is rarely used in modern everyday writing, making it an uncommon but culturally significant ideograph.
