U+85A9 "薩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a "bodhisattva" in Buddhist tradition, referring to an enlightened being who delays their own nirvana to help others achieve liberation. In modern usage, this character appears primarily in religious or philosophical contexts, often as part of compound words like "菩薩" (púsà, meaning bodhisattva). It is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and a phonetic component, reflecting its origin in transliterating Sanskrit terms, and remains widely used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
