Unicode Version 17.0

醙

U+9199 "醙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that typically refers to a type of fermented or distilled alcoholic beverage, often associated with wine or liquor that has been aged or strained. It is composed of the radical for "unitary" or "sacrificial wine" (酉) on the left, which signifies its connection to alcohol, and the phonetic component on the right provides a clue to its pronunciation, which is roughly "sōu" in Mandarin. This character appears in historical classical texts and dictionaries, though it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, making it a specialized or archaic term. Its usage underscores the rich lexical history of Chinese characters related to brewing and traditional alcohol production.
