U+8545 "蕅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8545 "蕅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji/hanja) that primarily refers to the lotus root, specifically the edible rhizome of the lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera), which is a common ingredient in East Asian cuisine. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) indicating its botanical nature, combined with phonetic and semantic components that together convey the idea of a water plant with segmented roots. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts and continues to be used in modern contexts, particularly in culinary descriptions and poetic references to lotus ponds. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which codifies shared characters across these languages, though its usage frequency varies by region.
