U+8295 "芕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8295 "芕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character (hanzi) that typically appears in older or classical texts, functioning as a variant of the more common character "艸" (cǎo, meaning grass or herb). It is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and a phonetic component, and its usage is largely confined to historical or specialized linguistic contexts, such as in ancient dictionaries or transcriptions of classical poetry. In modern standard Chinese, it has fallen out of common use, making it a glyph of interest primarily for historical study, typography, or encoding completeness rather than everyday communication.
