Source: Browser Default
U+84B8 "蒸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to steam" or "steam," referring to the cooking method where food is cooked by the heat of steam, often in a covered vessel. It is composed of the radical "艹" (grass or plant) on top and the phonetic component "烝" underneath, which itself combines fire and water imagery to convey the process of vapor rising. This character is commonly used in culinary contexts, as in the dish "蒸餃" (steamed dumplings), and also appears in words related to evaporation, such as "蒸發" (evaporation), as well as in Chinese medicine and philosophical concepts where steam or rising vapor symbolizes transformation or purification.
