U+796B "祫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

祫

U+796B "祫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used primarily in classical texts and historical records, where it denotes a specific type of imperial ancestral sacrifice or grand offering in ancient Chinese ritual practice, often involving the joint veneration of multiple generations of ancestors. This character is composed of the semantic radical 礻 (meaning "altar" or "spirit") and the phonetic component 合 (meaning "to join" or "unite"), reflecting its meaning of a combined ritual. It appears in canonical works such as the "Book of Rites" and is rarely used in modern everyday language, preserved instead in specialized scholarly contexts related to ancient Chinese religion and ceremonial protocols.
