U+81C4 "臄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+81C4 "臄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically refers to the raw flesh or meat that is cut from the inner thigh or the buttock of an animal, often associated with sacrificial offerings or culinary preparations in ancient texts. Its composition combines the radical for meat or flesh, "月," with the phonetic component "豦," and it appears in classical Chinese literature such as the "Book of Rites" where it denotes a specific cut of meat used in ritual feasts. In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete, mainly encountered in scholarly contexts like the study of ancient Chinese cuisine, philology, or historical texts, and it is not typically found in contemporary dictionaries or everyday language.
