U+859F "薟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薟
U+859F "薟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of herbaceous plant, often identified as a kind of wild pepper or a plant with a pungent odor, such as the "Chinese pepper" or "spicebush." In classical texts and modern usage, it can denote the "humulus" or "hops" plant, and it is also found in Traditional Chinese Medicine contexts, where it describes herbs believed to have detoxifying or anti-inflammatory properties. The character is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) atop a phonetic component, and it appears in some historical dictionaries and literary works, though it is relatively rare in everyday modern Chinese.
