U+9E79 "鹹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+9E79 "鹹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "salty" or "salted," typically used in the context of taste or food preservation. It belongs to the Kangxi Radical 197 (鹵, meaning "salt") and is composed of the salt radical combined with a phonetic component. This character is historically significant as it appears in classical Chinese texts, including the ancient dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, and remains in modern usage in both Traditional Chinese and Japanese (where it is known as jōyō kanji). In culinary contexts, it often describes foods like salted fish or pickled vegetables, and it stands as a distinct concept from the simpler modern character 咸, which also means "all" or "every" in addition to "salty."
