U+8583 "薃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薃
U+8583 "薃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that appears in the Kangxi Dictionary and other classical Chinese texts. It is composed of the grass radical (艹) on top and the phonetic component "蒿" (hao) below, suggesting a connection to plants or herbs. While its precise modern meaning is obscure, historical dictionaries define it as a kind of plant, possibly a variety of mugwort or a similar weed. In contemporary usage, it is not a common character in standard Mandarin or other Sinitic languages, and its primary significance lies in its representation within the Unicode standard for historical or specialized CJK documentation.
