U+9948 "饈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
饈
U+9948 "饈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily used in classical and literary contexts, where it refers to refined or ceremonial food offerings, often associated with sacrifices or formal banquets. In modern usage, it is less common but appears in compound words like "珍饈" (rare delicacies) to denote exquisite dishes. The character combines the radical for "food" (飠) with the phonetic component "羞" (xiū), which carries connotations of shame or beauty, though in this context it emphasizes the sense of offering or presenting something valuable. Across CJK languages, its meaning remains tied to notions of culinary excellence and ritual presentation, distinguishing it from simpler terms for everyday meals.
