殓
U+6B93 "殓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to encoffin" or "to lay a corpse in a coffin" and is used in the context of funeral and burial rites. It is composed of the radical "歹" (meaning "death" or "bad") on the left, which relates to death or decay, and the phonetic component "佥" (qiān) on the right, providing a clue to its pronunciation. In modern Chinese, the character appears in words like "入殓" (rùliàn), which refers to the ritual of placing the deceased into the coffin, and "殓葬" (liànzàng), meaning to encoffin and bury. This ideograph is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, enabling its digital representation across systems that support East Asian scripts.
