U+853E "蔾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蔾

U+853E "蔾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of plant, specifically the "goosefoot" or "pigweed," belonging to the Chenopodium family, and is often associated with the similar character "藜" (U+85DC). In classical Chinese texts, it can denote a kind of edible herb or weed, and it sometimes appears in poetic or botanical contexts, though it is less common in everyday modern usage. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) and the phonetic component "黎" (lí), which provides a clue to its pronunciation and meaning related to vegetation.
