hectolitre, (kokuji)
竡 is a Japanese-made kokuji that represents a hectolitre, a metric unit of volume equal to one hundred litres. Its meaning is a specific measurement unit rather than a broad conceptual idea.
竡 is a kokuji created in Japan by combining 立 (stand) and 百 (hundred) to represent a hectolitre, a unit of one hundred litres. The components were chosen for their semantic fit rather than through historical derivation.
立 (stand) next to 百 (hundred) suggests a standing container holding one hundred litres: a hectolitre.
For ヘクトリットル, the reading is the direct loanword 'hectolitre' written in katakana. Think of a hectolitre container standing tall with 'hectolitre' printed on it: ヘクトリットル.
