U+79CF "秏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
秏
U+79CF "秏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to consume, waste, or expend, particularly in the context of resources or time, and it is also historically used as a noun referring to a type of grain or, in ancient texts, a term for a sacrificial offering. This character is composed of the radical for grain or rice (禾) on the left and the phonetic component 毛 (hair or fur) on the right, reflecting its semantic roots in agricultural or material depletion. In modern usage, it is less common than its simplified variant or alternative characters with similar meanings, but it still appears in classical literature and specialized contexts related to economics or ritual practices.
