U+9923 "餣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of stuffed or filled food, often associated with pastries or dumplings that contain a savory or sweet filling, such as a steamed bun or cake. Its composition combines the "food" radical (飠) with a phonetic component, reflecting its semantic link to edible items prepared with a stuffing.

Its pronunciation is typically given as "yè" in Mandarin, based on standard dictionaries.
