U+85C3 "藃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

藃

U+85C3 "藃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in classical texts and specialized lexicons, rather than in modern standard Chinese. Its component structure includes the "grass" radical (艹) over a phonetic element, and its meanings relate to things like swelling, bulging, or a kind of plant, though the exact definition can vary by context and historical usage. In the Kangxi Dictionary, it is also defined as the appearance of overgrowth or distortion, often applied to descriptions of plants or in some cases metaphorical extensions. Due to its obscurity, it is not commonly found in everyday written or spoken Chinese but can appear in historical or technical linguistic discussions.
