U+848F "蒏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+848F "蒏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a less common Chinese character, primarily used in classical or literary contexts, where it refers to the act of pouring or sprinkling liquid, often in a ceremonial or ritualistic manner such as offering wine or libations. Its structure combines the grass radical (艹) suggesting a botanical or refined association, with phonetic components that contribute to its meaning related to the word 酹 (lèi), an ancient custom of pouring alcohol onto the ground as a sacrifice to spirits or ancestors. While not frequently encountered in modern everyday writing, it appears in historical texts and poetry, preserving a specific cultural practice of traditional Chinese sacrificial rites.
