U+9AD3 "髓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
髓
U+9AD3 "髓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes "marrow" or "pith," specifically referring to the soft, fatty tissue found inside bones, as well as the central core of certain plants or objects. Stemming from ancient pictographic origins that combine the radical for bone (骨) with a phonetic component, this character is used in formal and medical contexts in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to describe bone marrow, spinal cord, or essence, as seen in compounds such as 骨髓 (bone marrow) or 精髓 (essence or quintessence). Its usage extends metaphorically to signify the innermost or fundamental part of something, reflecting its deep cultural resonance in East Asian languages and historical texts.
