荛
U+835B "荛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the C JK Unified Ideographs block, primarily used in classical and modern Chinese texts. It is composed of a grass radical (艹) above the phonetic component "尧" (yáo), and its primary meaning relates to a type of firewood or brushwood, specifically referring to kindling or fuel gathered from grass and twigs.
