U+9918 "餘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
餘
U+9918 "餘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that represents the concept of surplus, remainder, or excess, often used in classical and modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts. Its semantic components combine the radical for food or eat with a phonetic element, reflecting an original association with leftover provisions. This character commonly appears in terms for mathematical remainders, spare time, or redundant quantity, and is distinct from its simplified Chinese counterpart "余" in Traditional Chinese script. In historical contexts, it also conveys notions of abundance or what remains after a process, making it a versatile ideograph in East Asian written language.
