藜
U+85DC "藜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of edible plant, specifically Chenopodium album, commonly known as goosefoot or lamb's quarters, which is a leafy green vegetable often used in East Asian cuisine. In traditional Chinese culture, 藜 also appears in classical literature and idioms, such as the story of a scholar enduring poverty by eating "藜羹" or a simple meal made from this plant, symbolizing frugality and resilience. Its stroke count and structure place it within the plant radical (艹), and its historical usage spans from agricultural contexts to poetic references.
