U+9964 "饤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9964 "饤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to paste," "to glue," or "to fix," and is also associated with the concept of arranging or setting something in place, particularly in the context of cooking or preparing food as a decorative garnish. It is composed of the radical "饣" (food, simplified from "食") and the phonetic component "丁," and it reads as "dìng" in Mandarin Chinese. This character is used in classical texts and historical writings, though it is considered rare in modern usage, where it often appears in the compound "饤饾" (dìng dòu) meaning an arrangement of dishes or a stack of food offerings in rituals.
