U+849F "蒟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蒟
U+849F "蒟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used in written Chinese and related scripts, primarily functioning as a component in the compound word "蒟蒻" (jǔ ruò), which refers to the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac). This tuberous plant is cultivated for its starchy corm, which is processed into a gelatinous food product commonly known as konjac jelly or shirataki noodles, and also used as a dietary fiber supplement and thickening agent. In classical contexts, the character "蒟" itself can denote a type of vine or a plant with medicinal properties, but its most prevalent modern usage ties it to the edible konjac species widely consumed in East Asian cuisine.
