U+8471 "葱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
葱
U+8471 "葱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "spring onion" or "scallion," referring to a common vegetable in East Asian cuisine and agriculture. In traditional and simplified Chinese, it is used in words such as 洋蔥 (yángcōng) for "onion" and 蔥花 (cōnghuā) for "chopped green onion." The character itself is composed of the grass radical (艹) on top, indicating its botanical nature, and the phonetic component 怱 (cōng) below, which suggests its pronunciation. Beyond food, 葱 also appears in descriptive terms like 青葱 (qīngcōng) for "verdant green" or "young and fresh," evoking the plant's slender, green stalks.
