U+78E3 "磣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
磣
U+78E3 "磣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in East Asian languages, particularly in classical and modern Chinese contexts, where it carries the meaning of "gritty" or "containing sand" often describing the unpleasant texture of food or soil contaminated with coarse particles like sand or gravel. This ideograph is composed of the radical "石" (stone) on the left, indicating a connection to rock or mineral substances, and the phonetic component "參" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (pronounced "chěn" in Mandarin). It is a relatively uncommon character, mainly encountered in literary, technical, or regional descriptions related to texture and impurity.
