U+85CE "藎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
藎
U+85CE "藎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it is defined as a plant name, specifically referring to a type of grass or herb, often identified as the "climbing hempweed" or "hairy jointgrass." In classical texts, it also carries a secondary meaning of being diligent, faithful, or loyal, particularly in the context of serving with devotion, which survives in some idiomatic expressions. The character belongs to the Kangxi radical 140 (艸, meaning grass or plant) and is composed of 17 strokes, with its usage now largely confined to historical or literary references rather than modern everyday language.
