U+5731 "圱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5731 "圱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means a type of ancient earthenware vessel, specifically a three-legged pot or cooking utensil, and is often associated with ritual or daily use in early Chinese dynasties. Its composition includes the radical "土" (earth or soil) on the left and the phonetic component "千" (thousand) on the right, suggesting a connection to pottery or land. This character is rarely used in modern Chinese, but it appears in classical texts and historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Zidian, where it retains its archaic meaning of a clay container. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it supports the representation of East Asian script in digital text, preserving ancient vocabulary for scholars and linguists.
