U+9165 "酥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9165 "酥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of a crisp, flaky, or short texture, often used to describe pastries, biscuits, or fried foods, as well as referring to a type of buttery or crumbly pastry itself. It also carries a secondary meaning related to being limp or weak, such as in the term "酥软" for soft and yielding, and historically it can denote a type of fermented milk product or a light alcoholic beverage. Composed of the radical for "wine" or "fermentation" (酉) and the phonetic component "禾" (grain), its structure reflects its origins in food and drink culture. Commonly seen in words like "酥油" (butter or ghee) and "酥糖" (crisp candy), this character is an integral part of culinary vocabulary in both Chinese and Japanese usage.
