Unicode Version 17.0
磑
U+78D1 "磑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a millstone or a grinding stone, specifically the lower stationary stone in a traditional rotary mill used for grinding grains like wheat or rice. Its radical is "石" (stone), and it consists of 15 strokes, with an ancient pronunciation similar to "wèi" or "ái" in modern Mandarin, reflecting its historical usage in agricultural contexts. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified character set, allowing it to be used across various East Asian writing systems, though it is considered a rare or literary character in contemporary use.
