U+8589 "薉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薉
U+8589 "薉" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "overgrown with weeds" or "wild and weedy," often used to describe vegetation that is unruly or neglected. It can also carry connotations of filth or impurity in a broader sense, sometimes appearing in classical texts to evoke a sense of disorder or moral corruption when applied metaphorically. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and a phonetic component, and it is rarely used in modern daily writing, being more commonly encountered in historical or literary contexts where it describes untended fields or a state of disarray.
