Source: Browser Default
U+846B "葫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character commonly known as the kanji for "bottle gourd" or "calabash," a type of vine fruit often dried and used as a container. In traditional Chinese culture, it symbolizes good fortune and is associated with the Eight Immortals, particularly Li Tieguai, who carried a gourd as a magical vessel. The character is composed of the radical for "grass" (艹) representing plants, and a phonetic component (胡) that provides the pronunciation "hu" in Mandarin. It appears in words like "葫芦" (hulu), meaning gourd or calabash, and is used in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block.
