U+9B3A "鬺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鬺

U+9B3A "鬺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically refers to a method of cooking or boiling food, particularly in the context of ritual offerings or ancient culinary practices. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encodes shared Han characters from East Asian writing systems. Its structure combines a radical related to cooking or cauldrons with a phonetic component, and while it is not common in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean texts, it appears in classical literature and specialized dictionaries documenting archaic or obscure terms.
