U+994E "饎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+994E "饎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to cook food" or "to prepare a meal for a ritual offering." It is composed of the radical "食" (food, eat) on the left, conveying its association with eating or nourishment, and a phonetic component on the right. In classical texts, such as the "Book of Songs" or "Rites of Zhou," this character often describes the meticulous preparation of grains or dishes for ancestral sacrifices or feasts. It is rarely used in modern everyday Chinese, where simpler characters like "煮" or "炊" have taken over its meaning.
