U+85EB "藫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
藫
U+85EB "藫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the radical for grass (艹) and is typically a waterweed or aquatic plant name, specifically referring to algae or duckweed found in ancient texts. This rare and largely obsolete character appears in classical Chinese lexicons such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined as "藫, 水草也" meaning "water grass." Its usage is extremely limited in modern East Asian languages, primarily appearing in historical or philological contexts rather than in everyday writing.
