U+83F8 "菸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
菸
U+83F8 "菸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily refers to "to smoke" or "tobacco," functioning as a radical or component in related compounds. It is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) over the phonetic element "於" (yu/yo), and historically denoted the tobacco plant or the act of smoking, though in modern Chinese it is often replaced by the simpler character "烟" for everyday use. In Japanese, it retains the meaning of tobacco or smoking, appearing in words like "kitsuen" (smoking) and "shiken" (cigarette holder). This character is classified under the Kangxi radical 艹 (grass) and carries a semantic association with plants or herbs, reflecting its origin in describing the tobacco leaf.
