U+859A "薚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+859A "薚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character found in classical texts and historical dictionaries. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 140 (艸, meaning grass or plant) and is composed of strokes suggesting a structure related to vegetation. Its primary recorded meaning is the name of a type of grass or weed, though its exact botanical reference is obscure and largely unattested in modern usage. This character appears in compilations like the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined with a brief gloss, but it does not have a standard modern pronunciation or common application in contemporary writing, making it a relic of historical Chinese lexicography.
