U+58DC "壜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
壜
U+58DC "壜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily means "bottle," "jar," or "urn," often specifically referring to a container for liquids such as wine or oil. It is composed of the radical "土" (earth or clay) on the left, reflecting its original reference to earthenware vessels, and the phonetic component "覃" on the right. While not common in modern standard Mandarin, it appears in classical texts and historical contexts, sometimes functioning as a variant of the more common character "罈" (tán). In the Unicode standard, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, encoded for compatibility with historical and literary East Asian scripts.
