U+91C3 "釃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
釃
U+91C3 "釃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively rare Chinese character that originally referred to the act of straining or filtering wine, specifically through a cloth or sieve, in ancient Chinese brewing and drinking practices. It is composed of the radical 酉 (representing alcohol or fermentation) on the left, and the phonetic component 麗 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation, traditionally reconstructed as shī or sāi in Middle Chinese equivalents. This character appears in classical literary texts, such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" dictionary, where it describes a meticulous step in preparing clear, unclouded wine for ceremonial use, highlighting its cultural connection to traditional Chinese winemaking and ritual purity.
