U+7802 "砂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
砂
U+7802 "砂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it primarily denotes "sand" or "gravel." In Chinese, it is pronounced "sha" and appears in words like 砂石 (sand and stone), while in Japanese, it is read as "suna" and is a common character in compounds such as 砂漠 (desert) or 砂浜 (sandy beach). The character combines the "stone" radical 石 on the left with the phonetic component 少 on the right, reflecting its meaning of small, granular rock particles. Originating from ancient Chinese script, this ideograph has a consistent semantic core across East Asian languages, symbolizing granular materials essential to many natural and constructed landscapes.
