U+994F "饏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+994F "饏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically refers to a quality or state related to food, often meaning "insipid" or "tasteless," and it can also imply something that is insubstantial or lacking in flavor. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which includes thousands of logograms shared across these East Asian languages, though it is not commonly used in modern writing. Its structure combines the radical 食 (food, eat) with components that influence its pronunciation and meaning, making it a technical or classical term more likely encountered in historical texts or specialized dictionaries than in everyday language.
