U+857B "蕻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蕻

U+857B "蕻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both traditional and simplified forms, primarily meaning "strong-growing" or "luxuriant," often referring to vegetables or vegetation that thrive abundantly, such as in the term "雪里蕻" (xuělǐhóng), a type of leafy green mustard commonly pickled in Chinese cuisine. It is composed of the radical "艹" (grass) atop the phonetic component "洪" (meaning flood or vast), suggesting a sense of flourishing growth. This character is rarely used in everyday modern writing but appears in classical texts, regional names, and culinary contexts, where it carries connotations of vitality and profusion. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a linguistic artifact of traditional East Asian script, encoded for digital interoperability across languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
