Unicode Version 17.0

菾

U+83FE "菾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of edible beet or turnip, often associated with the word "tián" meaning sweet or sugary in classical contexts. In traditional Chinese medicine and botany, it denotes the beetroot plant (Beta vulgaris), known for its nutritious root and leaves. The character is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) atop the phonetic component "tián" (甜), blending the idea of a sweet vegetable. While not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it appears in historical texts and specialized botanical references.
