U+7CE5 "糥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7CE5 "糥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically signifies sticky rice or glutinous rice, a staple ingredient in many East Asian cuisines, particularly in the preparation of dumplings, rice cakes, and sweet dishes. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block and is composed of the radical for rice (米) on the left and the phonetic component 需 on the right, reflecting both its semantic category and pronunciation. While it is less common in modern simplified Chinese, where 糯 is more frequently used, "糥" appears in classical texts and traditional calligraphy, preserving a nuanced link to the cultural and agricultural heritage of rice cultivation in East Asia.
