About
The character 蔊 is a phono-semantic compound with the grass radical 艹 on top and the phonetic component 旱 below. The radical 艹 classifies it within the botanical domain, indicating a herbaceous plant. 蔊 primarily names a semi-aquatic species, marsh yellow-cress (Rorippa indica), which is used as a vegetable and in herbal medicine. Although 旱 means "drought", its function here is purely phonetic, illustrating the clear separation between semantic and phonetic elements in such characters.
