U+78FE "磾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
磾
U+78FE "磾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a type of black stone or a stone used for ink grinding, particularly in ancient contexts where it described a smooth, dark stone suitable for polishing or pigment preparation. In classical texts, it appears in compound names and place names, such as the historical figure Jin Midi from the Han dynasty, whose surname was sometimes written with this character. Today, it is a rare and largely obsolete character, primarily encountered in specialized linguistic, historical, or dictionary contexts rather than in modern Chinese writing.
