U+79DF "租" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
租
U+79DF "租" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "rent," "lease," or "tax" and is commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. It is composed of the radical 禾 (grain) on the left, suggesting agricultural association, and the phonetic component 且 on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (zū in Mandarin). Historically, 租 carries connotations of land rent or grain tax in ancient Chinese fiscal systems, reflecting its agricultural and economic roots. In contemporary usage, it appears in words such as 房租 (house rent) and 租车 (car rental), maintaining its core meaning of temporary use in exchange for payment.
