U+9EB6 "麶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9EB6 "麶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical "麥" or "麦" meaning wheat, with the right component typically associated with sound or meaning in a phonetic-semantic compound. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, though it is extremely uncommon in modern usage and is not found in standard contemporary dictionaries; instead, it appears to be an archaic or highly specialized logogram, possibly historically linked to a specific type of wheat or grain preparation. Its reading and exact meaning are often listed as obsolete or uncertain, and it serves as a testament to the vast, often esoteric inventory of traditional Chinese characters that have largely fallen out of everyday use.
