U+85C5 "藅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
藅
U+85C5 "藅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the radical for grass (艹) and typically pronounced "fá" in Mandarin. Its meaning is largely obscure, as it does not appear in common modern usage and is primarily recorded in classical dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined as a type of plant or herb, possibly with medicinal properties, though specific botanical identification is uncertain. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is seldom used in contemporary texts, often appearing only in historical or specialized linguistic contexts.
