U+98F0 "飰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+98F0 "飰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character primarily found in historical or classical texts, where it is used as a variant form of the more common character 飯 (fàn), meaning "cooked rice" or "meal." Its structure combines the radical 食 (food, eating) with the phonetic component 反 (fǎn), indicating both its semantic category and approximate pronunciation. This character appears in ancient dictionaries and literary works, but it is not widely used in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, making it a point of interest for philologists and scholars studying the evolution of East Asian scripts. In Unicode, it is encoded under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which serves as a comprehensive repository for such traditional and seldom-used characters from the Chinese writing system.
