U+997B "饻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
饻
U+997B "饻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or specialized contexts, often related to food or provision, as its radical "饣" (food radical) suggests. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese writing and lacks a widely recognized standalone meaning, though it may appear in certain compound terms or classical texts. Its encoded inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital text can accurately represent this obscure glyph when needed for academic, linguistic, or archival purposes, preserving its connection to the broader family of CJK Unified Ideographs that span Chinese, Japanese, and Korean written traditions.
