U+783E "砾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+783E "砾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the meaning of gravel or crushed stones, often used in contexts related to geology, construction, or landscaping. It is composed of the radical 石, which signifies stone or rock, combined with the phonetic component 乐, though modern usage typically focuses on its semantic association with small, broken rock particles. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is commonly employed in simplified Chinese writing, where it appears in words like 砾石 (lìshí) meaning gravel or grit. Its presence in classical and contemporary texts highlights its practical role in describing granular, coarse materials found in natural or man-made environments.
