U+84CF "蓏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蓏
U+84CF "蓏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in classical and literary contexts, pronounced *luǒ* in Mandarin. It specifically refers to a type of melon, gourd, or other cucurbit fruit that grows on a vine, often distinguished from tree-borne fruits or cultivated crops in botanical classifications. This ideograph appears in ancient texts like the *Shuowen Jiezi* dictionary, where it is defined as "fruit that hangs downward," and it is sometimes used in compound words or phrases related to seasonal harvests or agricultural rituals, though it is rarely encountered in modern everyday writing.
