蓼
U+84FC "蓼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of plant, specifically the smartweed or water pepper, belonging to the genus Polygonum. It is used in classical and modern Chinese texts, often in the context of flora, traditional medicine, or poetic imagery, where its sharp, peppery taste and red-tinged stems are noted. The character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and the phonetic component 翏, and its pronunciation varies across different East Asian languages, such as liǎo in Mandarin and ryō or rō in Japanese. Additionally, it appears in historical names and compounds, like 蓼莪, a classic poem from the Book of Songs that metaphorically addresses filial piety.
