U+83CF "菏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
菏
U+83CF "菏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to the lotus or water lily, specifically the lotus plant in the genus Nelumbo, and it is most famously known as part of the name of Heze, a city in Shandong Province, China, where the character "菏" is used in the city's Chinese name "菏泽." In classical and modern Chinese, this ideograph often appears in botanical contexts or place names, and its radical is the grass radical (艹), indicating its association with plants. The character is also used in historical texts and poetry to symbolize purity and beauty, given the lotus's cultural significance in East Asian art and literature as a symbol of awakening and detachment from worldly concerns.
