U+84B5 "蒵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+84B5 "蒵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, encoded primarily for use in written Chinese and Japanese kanji. This particular ideograph has a traditional form that typically refers to a type of woven mat or reed footwear, specifically something akin to a sandal or shoe made from herbs or grass, and it appears in classical texts where it denotes a covering for the foot. Its structure combines the "grass" radical (艸) with the phonetic component "奚," indicating both its botanical association and its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is typically read as either xí or xī depending on the context. While not commonly used in modern everyday language, it remains a recognized glyph in historical and literary studies.
