U+858E "薎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+858E "薎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character historically used to represent a type of plant, often identified as a kind of grass or herb, though its precise botanical reference is not consistently defined and it may also carry a secondary meaning related to smallness or obscurity in classical texts. This character belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, and it is composed of the radical for grass (艹) combined with a phonetic component; however, it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese or Japanese, appearing primarily in ancient literature or specialized dictionaries.
