U+9ECD "黍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9ECD "黍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing the concept of "millet" or "glutinous millet," a cereal grain historically significant in East Asian agriculture, brewing, and cuisine. This ideograph belongs to the radical 黍 itself, which symbolizes grain and is often associated with ritual offerings and ancient food culture. In modern usage, it appears in words related to millet-based foods, such as 黍米 (shǔ mǐ, millet) or 黍酒 (shǔ jiǔ, millet wine), and also carries metaphorical meanings in classical texts, where it sometimes denotes the growth or abundance of crops. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character shares a common lineage with other sinitic scripts, including traditional Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean uses, though its specific pronunciation and frequency vary across those languages.
