U+85E0 "藠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+85E0 "藠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of edible plant, specifically the Chinese onion or Allium chinense, which is commonly known as "jiao tou" or "rakkyo" in English. This herbaceous perennial plant, belonging to the onion family, is cultivated for its clustered, bulbous roots and pungent, garlic-like flavor, often used in pickling or as a seasoning in East Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese and Japanese dishes. The character itself is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) atop other phonetic and semantic components, indicating its classification as a plant within the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block of the Unicode standard.
