U+7C96 "粖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7C96 "粖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character used primarily in classical or specialized contexts rather than in modern everyday language. It is composed of the radical for rice or grain, 米, combined with the phonetic component 末, and its meanings include congee, rice gruel, or the act of cooking grains until soft. In historical texts, it can also refer to a type of fine rice flour or a method of preparing grain-based dishes. Due to its low frequency, "粖" is seldom encountered in contemporary writing and is mainly of interest to scholars of ancient Chinese literature, paleography, or character etymology. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that this nuanced ideograph remains digitally accessible for academic and archival purposes.
