U+85FC "藼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
藼
U+85FC "藼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that falls under the radical for grass or vegetation, signifying its relation to plants. It is sometimes used as a variant form of the character 萱 (xuān), which refers to the daylily, a plant often associated with forgetfulness or maternal care in Chinese literature and tradition, particularly as a symbol of comfort for mothers. The character appears in classical texts and historical dictionaries, but it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, making it a specialized entry for scholars of ancient script and etymology. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures preservation for digital representation across systems.
