U+79EC "秬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
秬
U+79EC "秬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of black millet, specifically the grain used in ancient times for brewing ceremonial wine or as a sacrificial offering. This ideograph is composed of the radical for grain, "禾" (he), and the phonetic component "巨" (ju), and it appears in classical Chinese texts such as the "Shijing" (Book of Songs), where it symbolizes ritual purity and agricultural abundance. Its usage highlights the cultural importance of specific grains in traditional Chinese ceremonies and the careful preservation of such semantic distinctions in the Unicode Standard.
