U+537A "卺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
卺
U+537A "卺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used primarily in historical or ceremonial contexts, most notably as a component of the term "合卺" which refers to an ancient Chinese wedding ritual where the bride and groom would drink from two halves of a dried gourd, symbolizing their union. This character itself represents a nuptial wine cup or gourd vessel that has been split in two, and its usage is largely confined to classical texts, calligraphy, or discussions of traditional customs rather than in modern everyday language.
