Accepted Answer

コン divination sign, land, earth S+ (none) "While ""autochthonous"" can mean ""indigenous"" in ENGLISH, that is NOT one of the potential meanings of this character (thus, the majority of these stories will not help you with meaning). Rather, the kanji is ""autochthonous"" in the sense of being Earthly, mystic, and portentous (the ancient, primitive, sacred power of DIRT and SOIL). A vague, poorly-chosen keyword all around. Mantixen's story does the best job of conveying accurate meaning--> ""A monkey likes the earthy/autochthonous feel of soil""."
