菛

In Chinese, 菛 appears in the medicinal-herb name 菛冬. The Shuowen dictionary describes the related character 虋 as red-stalked millet or good grain. The later Jiyun dictionary lists 菛 as a common form of 虋; later dictionaries also connect 菛冬 with 門冬 and 虋冬.

In Vietnamese Nôm, 菛 can represent môn in khoai môn, the word for taro. Mandarin reads the glyph mén (Pinyin, second tone—a rising pitch); the language and word context tell you which reading applies.
