U+916A "酪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+916A "酪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a kind of fermented dairy product, often translated as "kumiss" or "koumiss" when referring to traditional Mongolian or Central Asian fermented mare's milk, or more broadly as "junket" or "curds" in the context of Chinese cuisine and culture. Composed of the radical 酉 (meaning liquor or fermentation) on the left and the phonetic component 各 on the right, this character appears in classical texts and modern usage to denote thick, fermented beverages or semi-solid dairy foods, such as the milk-based products historically consumed by nomadic peoples. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block means it is shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it may carry similar or related meanings, such as in Japanese where it can refer to "lactic acid" or "buttermilk."
