U+991C "餜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+991C "餜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of fried or baked pastry, often associated with traditional snacks like deep-fried dough sticks or crispy cakes. It is composed of the "food" radical (食 or 饣) and a phonetic component, and it appears in historical and modern contexts to denote certain confectioneries or wheat-based treats, particularly in northern Chinese cuisine. While less common than related characters like "糕" for cake, it remains a defined element in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character set for encoding text in East Asian digital systems.
