U+7906 "礆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7906 "礆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally means "alkaline" or "salt flats," and it is composed of the radical for stone (石) on the left, with the phonetic component "僉" providing a clue to its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is typically read as "jiǎn." This character is used in historical or classical contexts to refer to land that is salty or alkaline, often in relation to soil chemistry or geological features, and it is considered a variant of the more common character "碱" (also pronounced "jiǎn"), which is now widely used in modern Chinese for the same concept.
