Rfv-sense: "variety of artemisia seek". It comes from the Unihan database, but what does it even mean? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 23:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The "variety of artemisia" part is easy: the genus Artemisia includes a number of medicinal/aromatic herbs such as wormwood, mugwort, sagebrush, sweet Annie etc., as well as tarragon. Judging by some of the Google hits (none of which I can read), there may be another species involved, Crossostephium chinense, which was originally classified as Artemisia chinensis. The "seek" part looks like stray text- perhaps a note to look for more information. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:19, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think it's likely that the definition is referring to 蘄艾蕲艾 then, which is Crossostephium chinense, as you have suggested. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 00:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)Reply


⿱艹單⿰斤 ?[edit]

The character (qí) on this map appears to me to have the configuration ⿱艹單⿰斤 instead of the expected ⿱艹⿰單斤. I don't know whether this is a variant form or a mistake of some kind.

@Geographyinitiative: Looks like a calligraphic variant that's common for other characters of similar structure. The IDS should be ⿰⿱艹單斤 rather than what you have, which isn't computable. It may be "unifiable" with this Unicode character, but I'm not sure. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 06:17, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
