About this kanji
The kanji 「績」 primarily means achievements or accomplishments. It is mostly used in nouns rather than verbs. You might encounter it in compounds like 業績 (ぎょうせき), which means "achievement" in a business sense, or 功績 (こうせき), which refers to a notable contribution or merit. Another common compound is 成績 (せいせき), meaning "grades" or "results," often used in educational contexts. A usage note is that while this kanji has no standalone kun'yomi, it plays a significant role in expressing various types of success and contributions in life.
