U+8598 "薘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薘
U+8598 "薘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character, traditionally categorized as an ideograph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified block. Its pronunciation and meaning, while less common in modern usage, relate to an ancient or literary term, often associated with the concept of flourishing or herbal vegetation, reflecting its “艹” (grass) radical. This character appears in classical Chinese texts rather than contemporary language, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital systems can represent the full historical range of Sinographic writing.
