U+9956 "饖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9956 "饖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the radical "饣" (food or eat). It is primarily used in classical or historical Chinese texts, where it denotes the state of food being spoiled, rotten, or decayed, often implying that it has gone bad or become inedible due to staleness or decomposition. As an uncommon character, it is not frequently encountered in modern Chinese writing, but it holds significance in the study of ancient literature, philology, and the preservation of linguistic heritage within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph system.
