U+85CD "藍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+85CD "藍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, most commonly meaning "indigo" or "blue." It originally referred to the indigo plant used for dyeing, and by extension came to represent the deep blue color derived from it. In modern usage, it appears in words like the Japanese "aoi" (blue) in certain contexts and in Chinese terms for blue hues or indigo dye. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) atop the phonetic component 監, reflecting its botanical and color associations. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is widely used across East Asian writing systems for both literal and symbolic references to the color blue or the plant source.
