U+8477 "葷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8477 "葷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "strong-smelling vegetables" or "pungent herbs," specifically referring to ingredients like garlic, onions, leeks, and Chinese chives that are often avoided in Buddhist vegetarian diets due to their strong flavors and believed stimulant properties. It contrasts with the character "素" (su), which denotes plain vegetarian food, and is commonly used in words like "葷菜" (hun cai) meaning meat or pungent dishes in contrast to pure vegetarian fare. The character is composed of the grass radical "艹" (representing plants) and the phonetic component "軍" (jun), reflecting its botanical and sensory associations.
