Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+78E2 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in Classical Chinese and literary texts, representing a specific type of grinding stone or the action of scraping or polishing. This character is composed of the radical for "stone" (石) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic association with stone tools or surfaces. In modern usage, it is rare and largely confined to historical or specialized contexts, such as descriptions of ancient milling or sharpening techniques. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures that scholars and digital archivists can encode this character for accurate representation of premodern East Asian writings.
