U+585F "塟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+585F "塟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant of the more common character "葬" (zàng), meaning "to bury" or "interment." While "葬" is the standard modern form used to denote burial practices, funeral rites, or figurative endings, "塟" appears in historical texts and classical literature, reflecting an older orthography that combines the radical for "earth" or "ground" (土) with components associated with death or depositing. Its use today is largely confined to specialized academic contexts, such as the study of ancient inscriptions, calligraphy, or variant character forms in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean CJK character sets.
