孳
U+5B73 "孳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally conveys meanings related to reproduction, breeding, or proliferation, often specifically referring to the gestation or growth of offspring, such as in livestock or wild animals. It is composed of the radical "子" (child or offspring) atop a phonetic or semantic component that evokes the idea of being diligent or busy, reflecting a sense of many small creatures being born or thriving under careful nurture. In classical Chinese texts, this character appears in contexts describing the flourishing of life, like the term "孳生" which means to breed or multiply.
