U+858B "薋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薋
U+858B "薋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically refers to a type of grass or weed, specifically defined in classical texts as a gathering of various grasses or as a term for a tangled, overgrown thicket. It appears in ancient Chinese lexicons such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is composed of the grass radical (艹) over the phonetic component 資, and its usage is largely confined to classical literature rather than modern everyday writing. The character carries connotations of denseness or disorder in vegetation, and due to its obscurity, it is seldom encountered outside of specialized historical or linguistic contexts.
