苛
U+82DB "苛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings of severity, harshness, or exacting strictness, often used in contexts such as "苛刻" (kēkè, meaning harsh or demanding) or "苛税" (kēshuì, meaning oppressive taxes). It is composed of the radical "艹" (grass) and the phonetic component "可" (kě, which also suggests the idea of "can" or "possible"), together forming a logogram that has been used in classical and modern written Chinese to describe conditions of excessive rigor or difficulty. This character appears in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, reflecting its widespread usage across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
