U+91C9 "釉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
釉
U+91C9 "釉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents the concept of glaze, specifically the vitreous coating applied to ceramics or pottery to create a smooth, shiny, and often colored surface. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "vessel" or "container" combined with phonetic and semantic elements, reflecting its historical and practical use in pottery and porcelain production. In modern Chinese and Japanese, it is used in contexts related to ceramic arts, such as discussing glazing techniques or describing finished ceramic ware, and it appears in compound words like "釉薬" (yūyaku) in Japanese or "釉料" (yòuliào) in Chinese, both referring to glazing materials.
