U+9EA5 "麥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9EA5 "麥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily represents wheat or barley, and it is the complex form of the simplified character 麦. This ideograph, with a history dating back to ancient oracle bone script, depicts a plant with a prominent ear or head of grain, reflecting its agricultural significance in East Asian culture. In Japanese, it is used in the word "mugi" to refer to grains like barley and wheat, and it also appears in the Kangxi Dictionary with the radical for grain or rice. Beyond its literal meaning, 麥 carries metaphorical associations with sustenance and harvest, and it is a component in compound terms for bread (麵包, using the related character 麵) and other wheat-derived foods. Its Unicode designation ensures consistent digital representation across systems for text in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
