U+85AD "薭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薭
U+85AD "薭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character, known as a variant of the character "稗" (bài) which refers to a type of barnyard grass or a weedy grass that resembles rice. This ideograph is composed of the radical for grass or plants (艹) combined with a phonetic component, and historically it was used to denote a weed that grows among cultivated rice, sometimes metaphorically referring to something insignificant or of low value. While it appears in some classical Chinese texts and dictionary compilations, it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese and is not present in most contemporary font sets, making it a specialized glyph with limited practical application.
