U+9967 "饧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9967 "饧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally refers to a type of malt sugar or syrup, often used in the context of sweeteners or confectionery in ancient Chinese cuisine. Its radical is "饣" (food or eat), indicating its association with edible substances, and the component "易" suggests ease or change, possibly alluding to the transformation of grains into sugar. This character appears in historical texts and classical recipes, though it is less common in modern Simplified Chinese, where it may be replaced by other characters for sugar or sweets.
