U+9193 "醓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9193 "醓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to an ancient type of meat sauce or pickle, often described as a salted or fermented condiment similar to a thick, spiced paste. In classical Chinese texts, it appears in the context of ritual offerings and culinary traditions, notably mentioned in early lexicons and historical works like the "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is defined as a rich, dark variety of "hai" (minced meat sauce). The character is composed of the "酉" (wine or fermentation) radical on the left, indicating its connection to brewing or preserving, and a phonetic component on the right, which gives it its reading. Today, "醓" is considered a rare or obsolete hanzi, preserved mainly in historical and philological studies rather than in modern everyday usage.
