U+917E "酾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally refers to the act of straining or filtering wine, or to a method of pouring wine, often associated with ancient Chinese brewing and drinking rituals. It can also denote the liquid itself, particularly in the context of clarifying or purifying alcoholic beverages. Composed of the radical for “wine” or “fermented drink” (酉) and a phonetic component, this character is rarely used in modern everyday language but appears in classical texts and historical contexts related to traditional Chinese winemaking processes.
