U+7A37 "稷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
稷
U+7A37 "稷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ideograph representing a type of millet, specifically foxtail millet or broomcorn millet, which was a staple grain in ancient China and held great ritual and agricultural significance. In historical contexts, it is famously associated with the agricultural god Hou Ji, and the compound "社稷" (sheji), meaning "state" or "nation," uses this character alongside "社" for the god of soil, reflecting the centrality of millet cultivation to Chinese civilization. The character is composed of the radical for grain or rice (禾) on the left, indicating its agricultural meaning, and a phonetic component on the right that provides its pronunciation "ji."
