U+82A1 "芡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (CJK ideograph) that represents a water plant known as Gorgon fruit or fox nut, scientifically classified under the genus Euryale in the water lily family. In traditional Chinese medicine and cuisine, its seeds are valued for their starchy, nutrient-rich properties and are often used in soups, desserts, or as a thickening agent. The character itself is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) on top, combined with a phonetic component (欠), reflecting its botanical classification. Pronounced "qiàn" in Mandarin, it is an essential ingredient in certain regional dishes and herbal remedies across East Asia.
