Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+85E5 "藥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily meaning "medicine," "drug," or "remedy," and it is also used in Japanese and Korean scripts. This ideograph combines the "grass" radical (艹) on top, indicating its botanical or herbal origins, with the phonetic component 樂 (meaning "music" or "joy"), reflecting historical associations between healing and harmonious rituals. In modern usage, it appears in terms for pharmaceuticals, herbal concoctions, and metaphorical expressions like "medicine for the soul," and it is distinct from its simplified Chinese counterpart "药" (U+836F).
