U+9F12 "鼒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鼒
U+9F12 "鼒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 206, which is the "ding" or cauldron radical. It specifically denotes a type of ancient bronze cooking vessel or tripod, similar in function to a ding, but distinguished by having a hollow core or interior that could be filled with a substance, possibly for insulation or heating purposes. This character is most often encountered in classical Chinese texts and historical inscriptions, rather than in modern everyday language, reflecting its specialized usage in describing ritual or ceremonial artifacts from early Chinese dynasties.
