U+991F "餟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

餟

U+991F "餟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character used in classical and literary contexts, primarily representing a type of sacrificial offering or libation in ancient rituals. Its structure combines the radical for "food" or "eat" on the left, indicating its connection to edible offerings, with a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation, typically read as "zhui" or "chuo" in modern Mandarin. This character appears in historical texts describing ceremonial practices where wine or food was poured out as an offering to spirits or ancestors, emphasizing its role in traditional Chinese religious and funerary customs. Due to its specialized usage, it is not common in everyday writing but remains relevant for scholars studying ancient inscriptions, ritual bronzes, or classical literature from periods like the Zhou or Han dynasties.
