U+918E "醎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
醎
U+918E "醎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character historically classified under the radical for "wine" or "fermented liquid" (酉), and it primarily denotes a salty or briny taste, often associated with preserved or pickled foods. It appears in classical Chinese texts as a variant or close relative of the more common character 鹹 (xián), sharing the meaning of saltiness, though it is less frequently used in modern standard Chinese. This ideograph reflects the linguistic evolution of flavor descriptors in East Asian writing systems, where it captures a sensory concept tied to traditional culinary practices.
