U+914C "酌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
酌
U+914C "酌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to pour wine" or "to drink," and by extension "to consider" or "to deliberate," often used in compound words like "斟酌" (zhēnzhuó) meaning "to weigh and consider" or "to deliberate carefully." Its visual structure combines the radical 酉 (yǒu), which represents a wine jug or fermentation, with the phonetic component 勺 (sháo), a spoon or ladle, together evoking the act of measuring or serving wine. In classical and modern Chinese contexts, this character appears in expressions related to hospitality, ritual drinking, and thoughtful decision-making, reflecting its cultural association with both conviviality and prudent judgment.
