U+916F "酯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to "ester," a class of organic compounds commonly encountered in chemistry and biochemistry, often associated with fragrances and fats. In Chinese, it is pronounced "zhǐ" and its radical is derived from the component for alcohol or chemical compounds, reflecting its scientific usage. The character is constructed from a left-right structure, combining the radical for "wine" or "fermented beverage" with a phonetic element to denote its specific chemical meaning. This ideograph is part of the CJK unified set, supporting its use across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditions where it may appear in technical, medical, or industrial contexts such as describing ester bonds or lipid chemistry.
