U+91E1 "釡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+91E1 "釡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character primarily used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it represents a type of ancient cooking vessel, often a cauldron or pot, and is a variant of the more common character 釜. This ideograph belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and carries the same meaning of a metal cooking utensil, typically associated with boiling or stewing food. Its structure combines the metal radical 金 (jīn) on the top or bottom with a phonetic component, reflecting its link to metalwork and ancient Chinese culinary practices. In modern usage, it appears in historical texts, names, and specific compound words, though it is less frequently employed than its simplified counterpart in everyday contexts.
