U+814A "腊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
腊
U+814A "腊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "dried meat" or "cured meat," and it is also associated with the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, often referred to as "Là yuè" (腊月), a time of year linked to winter sacrifices and preparations for the Chinese New Year. In modern usage, it appears in words related to preserved foods such as "腊肉" (làròu, cured pork) and "腊肠" (làcháng, sausage), as well as in the term "腊八粥" (Làbā zhōu), a traditional porridge eaten on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The character combines the "meat" radical (⺼) with a phonetic component (昔, meaning "past" or "dried") to convey its semantic association with preserved or aged food products.
