U+83D8 "菘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
菘
U+83D8 "菘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of vegetable, specifically the Chinese cabbage or bok choy, known scientifically as Brassica rapa chinensis, though it can also denote other leafy greens in the turnip family. In classical Chinese texts and modern usage, it often appears in the context of horticulture and cuisine, particularly in East Asian cultures where these leafy vegetables are staple ingredients. The character is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) combined with the phonetic component 松 (song), which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "sōng."
