U+99A0 "馠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馠
U+99A0 "馠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character classified under the radical for "food" or "eat" (飠/食). This character, which appears in historical or classical texts rather than modern standard usage, carries the meaning of "the aroma of food" or "fragrant scent," specifically referring to the pleasant smell of cooked rice or dishes. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a logogram used in East Asian writing systems, though its practical application in contemporary Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages is extremely limited, often appearing only in specialized dictionaries or scholarly works on ancient scripts.
