U+8532 "蔲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8532 "蔲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of plant, often specifically identified as the cardamom or a similar aromatic spice, and it is used in classical and modern Chinese texts to denote botanical or culinary contexts related to this herb. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which includes logograms used across these East Asian writing systems, though "蔲" is relatively uncommon in everyday usage, appearing more frequently in specialized or historical references. Its structure combines a radical element associated with grass or plants on top and a phonetic component beneath, following the typical composition of many Chinese characters.
