U+854E "蕎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕎
U+854E "蕎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified forms, primarily representing the buckwheat plant, specifically the species Fagopyrum esculentum. In modern usage, it appears in words such as "蕎麥" (buckwheat), referring to the grain-like seeds used to make flour, noodles, and tea, especially in East Asian cuisines. The character combines a grass radical (艹) indicating its botanical nature with a phonetic component (喬) that contributes to its pronunciation, which is "qiáo" in Mandarin Chinese.
