U+81B3 "膳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "meal" or "food," often with a connotation of a prepared or formal meal, such as in the word "膳食" (meal or cuisine) or "用膳" (to dine). Its composition includes the radical 月 (meat/flesh) on the left, indicating a connection to food, and the right component 善 (meaning good or virtuous), which provides phonetic and semantic hints. Historically used in contexts like imperial dining or ceremonial meals, it appears in Chinese, Japanese (as ぜん, zen, for meal or tray), and Korean (sometimes hanja) writing systems, reflecting a broad East Asian cultural emphasis on proper dining.
