U+7F3D "缽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
缽
U+7F3D "缽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a bowl or alms bowl, especially one used by Buddhist monks for collecting food donations. It is composed of the radical for metal or gold on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its historical association with metalwork, as early bowls were often made of iron or bronze. In East Asian Buddhist traditions, the 缽 holds significant symbolic meaning, representing simplicity, renunciation, and the mendicant lifestyle. This character also appears in compound words related to alms bowls and occasionally in names of objects that are bowl-shaped, such as certain types of containers or ceremonial vessels.
