U+85C1 "藁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+85C1 "藁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to straw or stalk of grain, such as rice or wheat, and is commonly used in the compound word "藁本," which denotes a type of medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine. This character is also associated with the historical and literary context of the "Zuo Zhuan" commentary, where it appears in classical texts. In modern usage, it remains a component of specialized vocabulary rather than everyday language, and its structure combines the grass radical (艹) with a phonetic element, reflecting its categorization among ideographs in the CJK unified block.
