U+8456 "葖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

葖

U+8456 "葖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally pronounced as "tú" in Mandarin and meaning a type of tuberous plant, specifically the radish or turnip, as recorded in classical texts like the Erya, where it is associated with the term "芦菔" (lúfú). This character belongs to the Grass Radical (艹) and contains 12 strokes in its traditional composition, reflecting its botanical classification in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified script system used across multiple East Asian languages. While rare in modern standardized writing, it serves as a historical and lexicographic element, preserving ancient terminology for root vegetables and illustrating the depth of the CJK repertoire in encoding specialized or archaic characters.
