U+97EE "韮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
韮
U+97EE "韮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to "leek" or "Chinese chives," a perennial herb in the onion family widely used in East Asian cuisine. In its traditional form, this character combines the radical for "grass" or "plant" (艹) with a phonetic component, illustrating its botanical nature. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts as a term for this pungent, flat-leaved vegetable, and it remains in modern usage, particularly in recipes and agricultural contexts across China, Japan, and Korea, where the plant is called "nira" in Japanese and "buchu" in Korean.
