U+9935 "餵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
餵
U+9935 "餵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used primarily as a verb meaning "to feed" or "to give food to," especially in the context of feeding animals or infants, and it can also carry the connotation of "to entertain" or "to host" in certain phrases. It is composed of the radical "飠" (food, to eat) on the left, indicating its semantic connection to nourishment, and the phonetic component "畏" on the right, which suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin as "wèi." This character is distinct from its simplified counterpart "喂," which shares the same meaning but has a different form, and it remains prevalent in traditional Chinese texts and usage across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other regions.
