U+9980 "馀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馀
U+9980 "馀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that serves as a variant of the more common character "餘," meaning "surplus," "extra," or "remainder." It is often used in classical and formal texts, particularly in compound words like "餘額" (balance) or "餘生" (the remainder of one's life), and can also imply leftover food or resources. In Simplified Chinese, it is typically replaced by the character "余," though "馀" retains its distinct presence in traditional calligraphy and literary works, as well as in the Japanese Kanji system where it carries similar meanings.
