U+8548 "蕈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕈
U+8548 "蕈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of mushroom or fungus, particularly edible varieties like the mushroom known as "xùn" in Mandarin. This ideograph is commonly used in botanical and culinary contexts, often appearing in terms for specific fungi such as "香菇" (xiānggū, shiitake) or "松蕈" (sōngxùn, pine mushroom). Its meaning stems from its composition, which includes the "艹" (grass) radical on top to indicate a plant or fungus, beneath which sits "覃" (tán, meaning deep or extensive), possibly referencing the mushroom’s growth in deep, shaded woodland floors. In classical Chinese texts, it also occasionally denotes a broader category of underground or elusive fungi.
