U+94B5 "钵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to an earthenware bowl or a type of small, round container, often used for food or as an alms bowl in Buddhist contexts.

The character is composed of the radical for metal or gold on the left side and the phonetic component "本" on the right, reflecting its historical association with metalwork and its pronunciation in Mandarin as "bō."
