U+85B6 "薶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+85B6 "薶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character classified as a radical 140 (艹, grass) component, with a total of 17 strokes. Its primary meaning relates to the concept of "to bury" or "to inter," often used in classical or literary contexts to describe the act of placing something underground, such as a corpse or an object. The character is a variant of the more common "埋" (mái) but carries a more archaic or formal tone, appearing in historical texts or poetry rather than in modern everyday usage. It is also associated with the idea of concealment or being hidden beneath the earth, reflecting its composition of the "grass" radical over a phonetic element suggesting depth or obstruction.
