Unicode Version 17.0

酒

U+9152 "酒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram representing the Chinese character for alcoholic beverages, specifically wine or liquor, and is widely used across multiple East Asian writing systems including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The character is composed of two radicals: the left radical 酉 (yǒu), which signifies a wine jar or fermentation, and the right phonetic component 酉 (jiǔ), originating from an ancient pictograph of a liquor vessel. In Chinese culture, 酒 plays a central role in social rituals, poetry, and traditional medicine, and it appears in numerous compound words such as 啤酒 (píjiǔ, beer) and 红酒 (hóngjiǔ, red wine). Its Unicode encoding ensures consistent digital representation across platforms, preserving the glyph's historical and cultural significance in modern text processing.
