Unicode Version 17.0
卤
U+5364 "卤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "brine" or "salt marsh," and it also refers to a traditional Chinese cooking technique of marinating or stewing food in a seasoned soy-based sauce, known as "lu." Originating from the pictographic representation of a salt well or salt-making process, this character appears in various compound words, such as "卤水" (brine or bittern) and "卤味" (sauced or marinated foods), and it is associated with the broader concept of salinity or mineral-rich solutions. In simplified Chinese, "卤" is used as the standard form, corresponding to its traditional counterpart, and it is frequently employed in culinary contexts across Chinese-speaking regions.
