U+7AC8 "竈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7AC8 "竈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that represents a stove, furnace, or hearth, commonly associated with the kitchen and domestic life. In traditional Chinese culture, this ideograph is notably linked to the Kitchen God (灶神, Zao Shen), a household deity who is believed to report on family behavior to the heavens. The character itself is composed of radical elements suggesting a cave or hole (穴) combined with phonetic and semantic components related to earth (土) and a serpentine or ceramic shape, reflecting its ancient origins tied to cooking pits. While it is still used in some contexts, particularly in literature and historical references, it has largely been simplified to 灶 in modern standard written Chinese.
