粬

U+7CAC "粬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in East Asian writing systems, where it generally refers to a type of fermenting agent, such as yeast or a grain starter used in brewing and making alcoholic beverages like rice wine. Its composition combines the radical for rice or grain with a component suggesting a vat or container, reflecting its traditional role in fermentation processes. While less common in modern everyday Chinese, it retains specialized usage in culinary and historical contexts, particularly in regions where traditional brewing practices are preserved.
