Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+990C "餌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji that primarily means "bait" or "food" for animals, often used in contexts such as fishing bait or pet food. In Japanese, it is read as "esa" or "ji" in compounds, and it can also denote "food" in a general sense, including offerings in religious rituals. The character is composed of the radical 飠 (food, simplified as 饣 in modern Chinese) on the left, and the phonetic component 耳 (meaning "ear") on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation in certain readings. This ideograph appears in historical texts, everyday vocabulary related to feeding, and cultural references, reflecting its practical and symbolic role in East Asian languages.
