U+7A6D "穭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7A6D "穭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that also appears in Japanese (Kanji) and Korean (Hanja), primarily used in East Asian writing systems. It is composed of the radical for grain or rice (禾) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and its core meaning relates to "wild rice" or "self-sown grain," often specifically referring to rice plants that grow spontaneously from previous season's seeds without cultivation. This character is considered a variant or less common form of the more standard character 穭 (also read as "lǚ" in Mandarin), and it appears in classical literature and agricultural contexts to describe volunteer crops or grain that regrows naturally after harvest. Its usage is rare in modern writing, but it remains a part of the unified CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character set, encoded for historical and specialized typographic purposes.
