Source: Browser Default
U+5E96 "庖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "kitchen" or "cook" and is famously associated with the compound "庖丁" (páo dīng), referring to a legendary butcher from the Daoist classic Zhuangzi who exemplified skill and the way of effortless action. Its radical is 广 (slanting roof), indicating a building or shelter, and it carries connotations of culinary preparation and domestic service. In modern usage, this character appears in formal or classical contexts rather than everyday language, often evoking its philosophical weight from the Zhuangzi story.
