菅
U+83C5 "菅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that traditionally represents a type of grass or sedge, specifically referring to plants like the cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) or other similar reeds used in thatching and weaving. In Chinese and Japanese contexts, it often appears in surnames and place names, most notably as the surname of the influential Japanese statesman and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's grandfather, Kishi Nobusuke, or in the name of the Japanese temple master Hon'ami Kōetsu's associate. As a part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, its usage spans various East Asian languages where it retains its botanical meaning while also functioning as a common component in proper nouns.
