U+9917 "餗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

餗

U+9917 "餗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily used in classical texts and historical contexts, where it denotes a type of sacrificial vessel or container for cooked grains and meat in ancient ceremonial rites. Its radical "飠" indicates food or eating, while the phonetic component "束" contributes to its pronunciation (pronounced *sù* in Mandarin). This character appears in classical literature, such as the *Zhou Li* (Rites of Zhou), describing bronze vessels used for offerings, and it carries connotations of ritual reverence and antiquity rather than modern everyday usage. In contemporary computing, it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block for digital representation of historical Chinese scripts.
