Unicode Version 17.0
祭
U+796D "祭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally signifies a ritual or ceremony of offering sacrifices to deities or ancestors, often involving meat or food placed on an altar. This ideograph is composed of two primary components: the upper part resembling a hand holding meat, and the lower part depicting an altar or a stand, visually representing the act of presenting an offering. Commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts, it appears in words related to festivals, memorial services, and worship, such as "祭り" (matsuri) for festival in Japanese. Its semantic roots emphasize reverence, commemoration, and the spiritual connection between the living and the divine or departed.
