U+8097 "肗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8097 "肗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character found in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block of the Unicode standard, representing a logograph that primarily appears in classical or specialized texts. Its meaning is often associated with the concept of "rotten meat" or "spoiled food," derived from its composition: the radical "月" (meat or flesh) on the left, and the phonetic component "女" (woman, pronounced similar to ru) on the right, though the character is not commonly used in modern Chinese. In historical usage, it may also appear in certain ancient dictionaries or translations of Buddhist scriptures, but it lacks widespread contemporary application, making it a niche encoding for preserving textual fidelity in digital formats.
