U+838E "莎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a type of sedge or grass, often referring to plants in the Cyperaceae family, such as nutgrass or Chinese water chestnut. It is commonly used in East Asian languages, particularly in Mandarin and Japanese, where it appears in compound words like "莎草" (suō cǎo, meaning sedge) and in personal names or transliterations, such as the name "莎拉" (shā lā) for Sarah. The character carries a phonetic component derived from "沙" (shā, meaning sand) and a semantic radical related to plants, reflecting its botanical association.
