U+850E "蔎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蔎
U+850E "蔎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of fragrant herb or plant, often associated with tea or aromatic grasses in classical texts. Its usage appears in ancient literature, such as in the Erya, one of the earliest Chinese dictionaries, where it is defined as a kind of fragrant herb, sometimes linked to tea in historical contexts. The character combines the radical for grass (艹) with a phonetic component, reflecting its botanical nature, but it is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese, making it a specialized character for historical or philological study.
