U+91A4 "醤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+91A4 "醤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean (Hanja) writing systems, where it primarily denotes a fermented bean paste or sauce, such as soybean paste or miso. It is a variant form of the more common character "醬" (jiàng in Mandarin) and is composed of the radical 酉 (yǒu), which relates to fermentation or liquor, combined with a phonetic component. In Japanese, it is frequently seen in the word "醤油" (shōyu, meaning soy sauce), though the standard character for that term is typically "醬油" in traditional contexts. The character reflects the cultural significance of fermented condiments in East Asian cuisines and is encoded in the Unicode standard to support digital text across languages.
