麦 Wheat (Kangxi 199)

Rarer in this ranking, but still part of the 2,608-character published set.

More common than 廷 (Courts), less common than 磨 (Polish).

Dirt (dirt) forms the base, a lid (lid) covers the top, and winter (winter) descends in between — in winter, the dirt is frozen under a lid of frost, and through it all, wheat pushes up stubbornly from the frozen earth.
