Unicode Version 17.0
俎
U+4FCE "俎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically represents a type of ancient ritual cutting board or platter used for sacrificial offerings, often associated with slicing meat or presenting food in ceremonies. In modern usage, it appears in compound words such as "俎豆" referring to sacrificial vessels or rites, and metaphorically in expressions like "人为刀俎，我为鱼肉" meaning someone is at the mercy of another's power. The character is composed of the radical for "person" or "human" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its pictophonetic structure.
