U+855D "蕝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蕝

U+855D "蕝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of aquatic plant or a small bundle of rush used in ancient Chinese ritual practices, particularly for marking boundaries or as a ceremonial token. Its usage appears in classical texts, often associated with rites and social customs recorded in historical documents like the "Zhouli" (Rites of Zhou). In modern contexts, the character is seldom used in everyday writing, making it a specialized component of the CJK Unified Ideographs block designed for digital representation of East Asian scripts.
