U+85BD "薽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+85BD "薽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a less common Chinese character, a variant of the character 蘭 (lán), which primarily refers to the orchid flower, though "薽" itself specifically denotes the herb *Dianthus superbus*, also known as fringed pink or Chinese pink, a plant valued in traditional herbal medicine for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. In modern usage, it appears rarely in standard texts, mostly preserved in historical or botanical contexts, and its structure combines the "grass" radical (艹) with the phonetic component 甄 (zhēn), indicating its plant-related meaning and approximate pronunciation.
