U+991D "餝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+991D "餝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character used primarily in historical or classical texts, where it functions as a variant of the more common character "餤" (meaning “to eat” or “to feed”) or appears in specialized contexts like food names or poetic descriptions. Its structure combines the radical "食" (food, to eat) on the left with the phonetic component "方" (direction) on the right, though its exact semantic range is not clearly defined in modern standard Chinese. This character is seldom used in contemporary writing, residing mostly in dictionaries of ancient Chinese or specialized linguistic databases, and its representation in Unicode ensures its preservation for scholarly and historical purposes.
