Source: Browser Default
U+71DC "燜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of cooking with a covered pot over a slow fire, specifically meaning to braise, stew, or simmer food in a closed vessel to retain moisture and flavor. This character is composed of the fire radical "火" on the left, indicating heat or cooking, and the phonetic component "悶" on the right, which itself means stuffy or confined, reinforcing the idea of a sealed cooking process. It is commonly used in culinary contexts, particularly in Cantonese and other southern Chinese cuisines, where dishes like "燜牛腩" (braised beef brisket) are prepared using this technique.
