U+993E "餾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
餾
U+993E "餾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to steam" or "distill" in the context of cooking, particularly referring to the process of steaming rice or other grains. It is composed of the radical for "food" or "eat" (食) on the left, which indicates its semantic connection to food preparation, and the phonetic component "溜" (liù) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. This character is moderately rare in modern texts but can be found in classical Chinese literature and technical descriptions of traditional culinary methods, such as in recipes for steamed dishes or the production of distilled spirits.
