U+7517 "甗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7517 "甗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used to denote an ancient type of bronze or pottery vessel, specifically asteamer or cooking pot with a double-layered structure consisting of a bottom chamber for water and a top chamber for food, often employed in ritual feasting and sacrifice during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This ideograph combines elements meaning "pottery" or "vessel" and "speech" or "words," reflecting its historical association with ceremonial cooking and inscription artifacts. In modern contexts, it appears primarily in historical texts, archaeology, and sinological studies, where it represents a class of ritual bronzes also referred to as "yan" in Mandarin, distinguished by its unique design for steaming grains or meats.
