AB - Identifying high-temperature unconventional charge order and superconductivity in kagome systems is crucial for understanding frustrated, correlated electrons and enabling future quantum technologies. Here, we report that the kagome superconductor YRu<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>2</sub> hosts an exceptional interplay of charge order, magnetism, and superconductivity, revealed through a comprehensive suite of muon spin rotation (μSR), magnetotransport, X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory (DFT). We identify a high-temperature charge-ordered state with propagation vector (1/2,0,0) and a record onset temperature of 800 K, unprecedented in kagome systems and quantum materials more broadly. μSR measurements further reveal time-reversal symmetry-breaking below 25 K and field-induced magnetism near 90 K, features mirrored in the magnetoresistance, which reaches 45
