U+7CCE "糎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7CCE "糎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the rice radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, primarily used as a unit of measurement in Japanese contexts. It represents the "centimeter" or "millimeter" depending on regional usage, with "糎" often serving as a logogram for the metric unit, combining the semantic element for rice or grain with a phonetic cue that approximates the sound of "li" or "ri" in East Asian languages. This character is rarely used in modern standard Chinese but appears in specialized technical or historical documents, as well as in Japanese where it is read as "senchimeitoru" to denote a centimeter, reflecting the adaptation of Chinese characters for metric measurements in the 19th and 20th centuries.
