U+9943 "饃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9943 "饃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional and simplified Chinese writing, where it represents a type of steamed bun or bread, often filled with meat or vegetables, and is commonly associated with northern Chinese cuisine, particularly in regions like Shaanxi. This ideograph belongs to the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set, which encodes logographs that can be shared across these languages with varying pronunciations and meanings. In Mandarin, it is pronounced as "mó" and is a key component in the name of the famous dish "肉夾饃" (ròu jiā mó), a savory sandwich-like street food. The character is composed of the radical 飠 (food) on the left, indicating its connection to food or eating, and the phonetic component 莫 (mò) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation.
