[KS] Obscure Chinese character

[Hyoungbae Lee]

I should have clarified that I meant Han-Han taesajŏn published by Tanʼguk Taehakkyo Ch’ulp’anbu,
not the one by Tonga, which Dr. Rockstein had looked up.

Not in Mathews' Chinese Dictionary, Ueda Daijiten, Tong-a Han-han Tae Sajo^n . Not in the unicode unihan list [unless it is one of three characters the my PC could not display]. Not in any of my Chinese-Chinese dictionaries. Perhaps the Zhongwen Dazidian 中文大字典 would be the best bet or Morohashi 諸橋大漢和辞典, neither of which I have any longer.

Hello to all of you.

Has anyone come across a “Chinese (?)” character consisting of 禾+蜀, not to be found in any Chinese or Korean dictionary in my library. From the context I know that it must mean "sorghum".
One possibility coming to my mind is that it was made up on the base of Sichuan sorghum shushu 蜀黍, Kor. choksŏ ,but this is a mere guess.
Any help appreciated...
Best,
Werner
