U+9ECE "黎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
黎
U+9ECE "黎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the color "black" or "dark," particularly in reference to dawn or the early morning, and is famously known as the surname of the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi (Li Er), as well as appearing in compound terms such as "黎明" meaning "dawn" or "daybreak." Historically, it also refers to a type of millet or to the Li people, an ethnic minority in Hainan, China, and is used in classical texts to describe a diverse multitude, such as in the phrase "黎民" meaning "the common people." Its structure combines the radical for "grain" or "rice" (禾) with a phonetic component, reflecting its agricultural and cultural roots in East Asian writing systems.
