U+74EE "瓮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
瓮
U+74EE "瓮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing an earthenware jar or urn, typically used for storing water, wine, or other liquids, and it appears in the Kangxi Dictionary under the radical for "瓦" (tile or pottery). This character is most famously associated with the Chinese idiom "瓮中捉鳖" (wèng zhōng zhuō biē), meaning "to catch a turtle in a jar," which describes an easy or surefire task. In modern Chinese, it continues to be used in both literary and everyday contexts for physical jars or metaphorically for enclosed spaces.
