U+91AE "醮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

醮

U+91AE "醮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character with a rich historical and cultural significance, primarily meaning "to offer a libation" or "to perform a sacrificial ritual," especially in Taoist or folk religious contexts where it refers to a ceremony of offering wine or food to deities. In modern usage, it often appears in the compound word "打醮" (dǎ jiào), which describes a Taoist ritual of exorcism or blessing, and it can also imply marriage, as in "再醮" for a woman's remarriage in classical texts. Structurally, the character combines the radical "酉" (yǒu) meaning "wine" on the left, and "焦" (jiāo) on the right providing phonetic and semantic hints related to burning or roasting, reflecting its connection to ceremonial offerings that involve fire or libations.
