U+9B39 "鬹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鬹

U+9B39 "鬹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that historically refers to a type of three legged cooking vessel or tripod used in prehistoric and early dynastic China, often made of pottery or bronze for boiling food or water. This logograph, composed of radical components related to a tripod or cauldron, appears in classical texts and archaeological records but is not commonly used in modern Chinese, where it is considered obscure and largely replaced by more standard characters for similar vessels. Its representation in Unicode helps preserve this historical term for digital scholarship, lexicography, and the study of ancient Chinese material culture.
