U+9190 "醐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
醐
U+9190 "醐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to clarified butter or ghee, a type of refined butter used in traditional East Asian cuisine and Buddhist rituals. It is a component of the term "醍醐" (tíhú), which in Buddhist contexts metaphorically describes the highest or most sublime teachings, akin to the finest essence of milk. The character is composed of the radical for "wine" or "fermented beverage" (酉) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its association with dairy products and their refined, nourishing qualities. In modern usage, it appears in specialized culinary and religious texts rather than everyday language.
