Unicode Version 17.0
觞
U+89DE "觞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of ancient drinking vessel, often made of horn or wood, used in ceremonial toasts and banquets. The character carries rich cultural connotations, as it is frequently found in classical Chinese poetry and literature, symbolizing conviviality, ritual, and the fleeting nature of life, particularly in contexts where wine is shared among friends or during solemn rites. Its structure combines the radical for "horn" or "angle" with a phonetic component, reflecting its origins in material culture and its evolution within the written language.
