U+9179 "酹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
酹
U+9179 "酹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means to pour out a libation or a sacrificial offering of wine, typically as a ritual act to honor ancestors, gods, or the deceased. It combines the radical for wine or alcohol, 酉, on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic association with liquid offerings. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and poetry, where it often evokes solemn ceremonies or the act of paying respects by sprinkling wine on the ground. In modern usage, it remains a literary or formal term, rarely used in everyday language, but it preserves a cultural connection to ancient ceremonial practices.
