U+855A "蕚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+855A "蕚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji/hanja) primarily used in East Asian written systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is a variant or alternate form of the more common character "萼" (è in Mandarin), which refers to the calyx of a flower, specifically the sepals that enclose the petals. In classical and literary contexts, "蕚" can also denote the base or stem of a thing, sometimes metaphorically extended to mean the foundation or origin of a family or lineage. Its visual structure combines a grass radical (艹) with components related to the top or summit, reflecting its botanical association with the outermost floral whorl.
