U+83A0 "莠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "weeds" or "bad grass," often specifically referring to foxtail or similar undesirable plants that grow among crops. In classical and modern usage, it carries a metaphorical sense of that which is harmful or worthless mingling with the good, as seen in the idiom "良莠不齐" meaning the good and the bad are intermingled. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) indicating its botanical nature and the phonetic component (秀) suggesting sound, and it is used in both literary and practical agricultural contexts.
