U+99A2 "馢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馢
U+99A2 "馢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the radical for food or eating, 食, on the left side, combined with a phonetic component on the right. Historically, this character has been recorded in classical Chinese dictionaries and texts, where it is defined as a type of aromatic herb or fragrant plant used in ancient cuisine or medicine. Due to its obscurity, 馢 is seldom encountered in contemporary writing, but it remains a part of the vast inventory of traditional Chinese characters preserved in digital and scholarly Unicode standards.
