U+9993 "馓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9993 "馓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of fried noodle or pastry, specifically known as "sanzi" in Mandarin, a traditional crispy snack often eaten during holidays like the Spring Festival. This ideograph is composed of the food radical 飠 (simplified as 饣) on the left, suggesting its association with edible items, and the phonetic component 散 on the right, which also carries a secondary meaning of "scattered" or "loose." In modern usage, it appears mainly in culinary contexts and certain regional dialects, and it is considered a relatively rare character in daily written Chinese.
