U+799D "禝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+799D "禝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the ancient god of agriculture or millet in Chinese mythology, often associated with the legendary figure Hou Ji, who was credited with teaching agriculture to humans. Its semantic radical combines the "spirit" or "ancestor" component (示) with the phonetic element "稷" (mil or grain), linking it to ritual offerings and farming. In classical texts, it is sometimes used interchangeably with the more common character "稷" (rice or millet), though "禝" carries a stronger spiritual or ceremonial connotation. This character is rare in modern usage but may appear in historical literature, classical poetry, or specialized contexts involving ancient deities and agricultural rites.
