餎
U+990E "餎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in traditional and simplified writing, where it is part of a compound meaning a type of small dumpling or pastry. Specifically, it appears in the term "餎餎" (hele or he le), which refers to a traditional Northern Chinese noodle dish made from buckwheat or other flours, often pressed into a shape similar to small dumplings or long strands. This character is composed of the radical 飠 (food, eat) on the left and the phonetic component 各 on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to food items. Though less common in everyday modern usage, it retains cultural and culinary significance in describing regional Chinese cuisine.
