Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+7CD5 "糕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of soft, sweet cake or pastry, typically made from glutinous rice, wheat flour, or other starches, and is commonly used in East Asian cuisines for dishes such as New Year's cake (nian gao) or steamed sponge cake. It is composed of the radical "米" (rice) on the left side, indicating its association with grain or food, and the phonetic component "羔" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "gāo" in Mandarin. This character appears frequently in cultural contexts, especially during festive celebrations, where it symbolizes prosperity, growth, and good fortune due to the homophonic nature of "糕" with the word "高" meaning "high" or "tall."
