U+79D2 "秒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
秒
U+79D2 "秒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "second" as a unit of time, though it also carries the meanings of "a minute part" or "a grain" in classical contexts. As a standard component in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, it is used in words related to time measurement (e.g., 秒針 "second hand" on a clock) and in technical fields such as physics or mathematics to denote angular seconds. In its composition, the character combines the radical for "grain" or "rice" (禾) on the left with "few" or "small" (少) on the right, visually suggesting something tiny or precise.
