U+83CC "菌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+83CC "菌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "bacterium," "germ," "fungus," or "mushroom," often appearing in scientific and medical contexts. It is composed of the radical 艹 (grass or plant) on top and 囷 (a granary or round container) below, reflecting its original reference to edible fungi like mushrooms that grow in organic matter. In modern usage, it is a key component in words such as 细菌 (xìjūn, bacteria), 真菌 (zhēnjūn, fungus), and 杀菌 (shājūn, sterilization). The character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoded in Unicode version 1.1, and is commonly used across these languages with similar meanings, though its pronunciation varies as jūn in Mandarin Chinese, kin in Japanese, and gyun in Korean.
