U+91B9 "醹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+91B9 "醹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an East Asian script character included in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, representing a specific logogram used primarily in Classical Chinese texts. Its meaning is typically associated with a type of strong or rich wine, often interpreted as "thick wine" or "full-bodied liquor" in historical contexts, though it is considered a rare or obsolescent character in modern usage. The character is composed of the semantic radical 酉 (representing wine or fermentation) and the phonetic component 需, which together convey both its sound and its connection to alcoholic beverages. While not commonly encountered in contemporary writing, it may appear in ancient literature, historical names, or specialized linguistic studies of archaic Chinese vocabulary.
