U+84B2 "蒲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蒲
U+84B2 "蒲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it primarily denotes the cattail plant, a type of aquatic reed, and by extension the general concept of rushes or bulrushes. In Classical Chinese and derived vocabulary, it also carries meanings related to mats made from such plants, as well as the name of an ancient state or region. In modern usage, it appears in compounds such as 蒲公英 (pú gōng yīng), meaning dandelion, and in Japan, it is used in the word 蒲鉾 (kamaboko), a processed seafood product. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) and the phonetic component 浦 (pǔ), reflecting its botanical and phonetic origins.
