Accepted Answer

ルイ sort, kind, variety, class, genus 3 678 18 181 おおがい・いちのかい 会意 Compound Ideographic Note this character means sort in the sense of what kind, I believe a better keyword would be "variety" and this character does appear in some dictionaries with the primary meaning as variety, my story: I´m in a Chinese restaurant and the waiter says "What sort of rice would you like with your dog head?".
