Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+79D5 "秕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "empty grain" or "blighted grain," referring to grain kernels that are hollow, shriveled, or otherwise unproductive. It is composed of the radical for grain (禾) on the left and the phonetic component 比 on the right. In classical and modern usage, the character also conveys figurative meanings such as something worthless, flawed, or of poor quality, often appearing in compound words like 秕政 (a corrupt or bad government) or 秕糠 (chaff and husk, symbolizing something useless). This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is used across these languages, though less commonly in everyday contexts.
