蕺

U+857A "蕺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both modern and classical contexts, primarily representing the name of a plant known in botanical terms as Houttuynia cordata, often called heartleaf or fish mint. This perennial herb is native to East and Southeast Asia and is notable for its distinctive pungent aroma, frequently utilized in traditional medicine and regional cuisines, such as in salads or as a garnish in certain Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) indicating its botanical association, combined with a phonetic component (咠), reflecting its structure within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph system.
