U+85F7 "藷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+85F7 "藷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that in modern standard Mandarin is most commonly pronounced "shǔ" and refers specifically to the yam or sweet potato plant, particularly in compound terms like "甘藷" (gānshǔ) for sweet potato. Historically, it was the name for the Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita) before the introduction of sweet potatoes from the Americas, and in traditional texts it can also denote a type of edible tuber or a plant in the genus Dioscorea. In Japanese, it is used in the compound "藷" (imo) as an alternate character for taro or various starchy roots, though it is primarily seen in specialized botanical or historical contexts rather than in everyday writing.
