U+8524 "蔤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蔤

U+8524 "蔤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents the name of a water plant, specifically the tender white root or stem of the lotus, often harvested before it emerges from the mud. This character is composed of the grass radical (艹) atop the phonetic component "密" (mì), and it is most commonly encountered in classical Chinese texts and botanical contexts describing aquatic flora. While not a frequently used character in modern standard Mandarin, it survives in specialized vocabulary and regions where lotus cultivation is prominent, maintaining its association with the edible, crisp parts of the lotus plant.
