U+798B "禋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+798B "禋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes a type of ancient ritual sacrifice, specifically a reverent offering made by burning fragrant wood or grain to communicate with heaven or the spirits. In classical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi, it is defined as "to offer a sincere sacrifice with smoke ascending," emphasizing its ceremonial and spiritual significance in early Chinese culture. This character is composed of the radical "示" (shi), meaning altar or spirit, and the phonetic component "垔" (yin), which contributes to its pronunciation. While now less common in everyday usage, "禋" retains importance in historical, literary, and religious contexts, particularly within studies of ancient Chinese rites and Confucian classics.
