U+997C "饼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+997C "饼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in traditional and simplified writing to represent a flat, round cake or pancake, often made from wheat flour and cooked on a griddle. It appears in common words such as "月饼" (yuèbǐng, mooncake) and "饼干" (bǐnggān, biscuit or cracker), and historically it evokes food items that are kneaded, pressed, and baked. The character combines the radical for food, 食 (shí), with the phonetic component 并 (bìng), visually linking its meaning to edible flatbreads found across East Asian cuisines.
