U+7C8E "粎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7C8E "粎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically obscure Chinese character that falls within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographic block, representing a logogram used in classical or specialized contexts. Its exact meaning is not widely documented in modern dictionaries, but it is structurally composed of a rice radical (米 mǐ) and the phonetic component 又 (yòu), which suggests a possible connection to units of measurement or grain-related terminology, as seen in some older texts. This character is primarily of interest to linguists, digital typographers, and historians of East Asian scripts, who study it as part of the vast repository of over 70,000 CJK ideographs encoded in Unicode to preserve the full range of written expression from East Asian cultures.
