U+8553 "蕓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蕓
U+8553 "蕓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to the plant known as rape or cole, specifically Brassica campestris var. oleifera, which is cultivated for its oil-rich seeds. This character is composed of the grass radical (艹) indicating its botanical nature, combined with the phonetic component 云 (yún). In classical Chinese literature, "蕓" is also used in the term "蕓香" (yúnxiāng), which denotes a fragrant herb called rue, historically employed for its aromatic properties or as a bookworm repellent. The character is less common in modern simplified Chinese, where it may be replaced by 芸, and it appears in some cultural contexts such as poetry or traditional writing.
