Unicode Version 17.0

薧

U+85A7 "薧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character primarily found in classical texts and historical dictionaries. Its meanings are associated with dried or withered vegetation, specifically referring to dried fish, grass, or straw, and it can also imply something decayed or desiccated. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and other phonetic or semantic components, placing it within the broader category of plants and natural materials in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set. Due to its archaic nature, "薧" is not commonly used in modern everyday writing but appears in specialized contexts such as philology, historical linguistics, or the study of ancient Chinese literature.
