U+732E "献" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

献

U+732E "献" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that originates from Chinese, where it carries the primary meaning of "to offer" or "to present," often in a respectful or ceremonial context, such as offering gifts, sacrifices, or dedications. In Japanese, it is used in the same sense, appearing in words like "献上" (kenjō, meaning offering) and "貢献" (kōken, meaning contribution). The character is composed of the radical 犬 (dog) on the left, which can hint at an ancient sacrificial practice involving animals, and a phonetic component on the right derived from a simplified form of 鬳 (a vessel or utensil for cooking). It is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode Standard with the code point U+732E, and it is commonly used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts in both formal and literary contexts.
