U+8606 "蘆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蘆
U+8606 "蘆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in traditional and simplified writing, with its primary meaning referring to the common reed or rush plant, specifically species of the genus Phragmites. This ideograph often appears in classical literature and botanical contexts, such as in the term "蘆葦" (lúwěi), meaning reed. It is composed of the radical 艹 (grass), indicating its plant association, and the phonetic component 盧, which provides a clue to its pronunciation of "lú" in Mandarin. In Japanese, it is used as a kanji with similar meanings, though it is less common in everyday modern usage.
