薢
U+85A2 "薢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the radical for grass, and it appears in the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideograph set. This character is a key component of the compound word "薢茭" (xiè jiāo), which refers to a type of aquatic plant, specifically the water caltrop or water chestnut, known in botanical contexts as Trapa natans. It is used primarily in traditional and modern Chinese texts to denote this plant, and its structure combines a phonetic element with the grass radical to convey both sound and meaning within the logographic writing system. The character is encoded in Unicode to ensure digital representation across different platforms and languages.
