U+8590 "薐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薐
U+8590 "薐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally classified as a variant or obscure form associated with the character "菱" (ling), which denotes the water caltrop or a type of edible aquatic plant. This character appears in historical or classical Chinese texts, particularly in botanical or literary contexts, and is composed of the radical for grass (艹) combined with a phonetic component to suggest its sound and meaning. In modern standard Chinese, it is rarely used, having been largely supplanted by the more common character "菱" in everyday writing and digital communication.
