饯
U+996F "饯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (simplified Chinese: 饯; traditional Chinese: 餞) that primarily means "to give a farewell party" or "to provide a parting gift or feast." It is composed of the radical "饣" (meaning food or eat) on the left and "戋" on the right, which together suggest the act of offering food for a journey or departure. In modern usage, it appears in words like "饯行" (jiànxíng), meaning to host a farewell dinner, and "蜜饯" (mìjiàn), referring to candied or preserved fruit, demonstrating its dual role in both social customs and culinary contexts. This character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which standardizes Chinese, Japanese, and Korean logographic scripts.
