⻨
U+2EE8 "⻨" CJK Radical Simplified Wheat is a glyph used in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set as a simplified radical for the concept of wheat or grain, primarily appearing in simplified Chinese writing systems. This radical serves as a key component in various compound characters where it contributes the semantic meaning related to wheat, crops, or agricultural processes. Historically derived from the traditional radical for wheat, its simplified form reflects the broader character simplification reforms in mainland China. The glyph is encoded in Unicode's Kangxi Radicals block, helping to organize and index characters by their semantic radicals in dictionaries and digital text processing.
