U+99A6 "馦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馦
U+99A6 "馦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph block, and it traditionally means the smell of rice or the fragrance of grain in classical Chinese texts. It is composed of the radical "香" (xiāng, meaning fragrant) on the left and "兼" (jiān, meaning double or together) on the right, suggesting a compound meaning related to an aromatic quality. This character is not commonly used in modern Mandarin or Japanese, but it may appear in historical literature or specialized dictionaries discussing archaic terms for scents and flavors. Its Unicode inclusion ensures that this complex ideograph can be digitally represented and preserved across modern computing systems.
