Hi Don,
You might find the ROC Ministry of Education's Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants (http://dict2.variants.moe.edu.tw/eng.htm) to be a useful source for such searches. Could the character you describe be variant #2 on http://dict2.variants.moe.edu.tw/yitia/fra/fra02944.htm ?
Best regards,
Joe
I have encountered a footnote introducing a memoir from China’s 1911 revolution, drafted presumably in 1911. Transliterated, we have the line “. . . (1911) nian suo zuo X gao” (" X draft written in the year 1911). The X is a little blurry, but appears, compared to other characters in the book, to be a simplified character composed of the grain radical on the left and the character zhi (“only”) as phonetic on the right.
