U+85AE "薮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a noun meaning "marsh" or "swamp," as well as referring to a "gathering place" or "source" for something, such as a "den" or "haunt" of animals. It is composed of the radical "艹" (grass) on top, indicating its connection to plant life and natural environments, and the phonetic component "数" (number or count), though its pronunciation in modern Mandarin is sǒu. This character appears in classical Chinese literature and retains niche usage in modern contexts, often appearing in geographic names or poetic descriptions of overgrown, wild wetlands.
