U+85B3 "薳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

薳

U+85B3 "薳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the radical for grass or plants, and it is historically used as a surname or place name in classical texts rather than a common modern character. It appears in ancient Chinese records, such as the Zuo Zhuan, where it is associated with the state of Chu, often referring to a specific person or location. The character is composed of the grass radical atop a phonetic component representing the sound "yuan," and its structure reflects typical components found in traditional Chinese writing. While not frequently used in contemporary language, "薳" is recognized in Unicode to support historical and literary studies, ensuring accurate digital representation of classical Chinese documents.
