U+79ED "秭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
秭
U+79ED "秭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese-based character primarily used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In modern usage, it represents an ancient unit of measurement for volume, equivalent to one hundred million or a specific large number in traditional counting systems, though its more specific historical meaning varied across dynasties. The character is composed of the radical for grain or rice (禾) and the phonetic component "兄", and it appears in classical texts and mathematical contexts, such as in the Chinese classic "Shiji" or historical treatises on units. Its usage is rare today, but it retains significance in scholarly discussions of ancient metrology and numeral systems.
