U+9940 "饀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9940 "饀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that also appears in Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja, primarily meaning "stuffed dumpling" or "filled pastry," often associated with foods like ravioli or wontons. This glyph belongs to the radical 食 (food/eat) and carries a phonetic component suggesting its pronunciation variations across East Asian languages, such as "táo" in Mandarin and "tō" in Japanese. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts related to culinary traditions, particularly in descriptions of wheat-based pastries filled with meat or sweets. In modern usage, the character is less common but remains recognized in specialized contexts, such as historical gastronomy or traditional recipe references. Its structure combines the "food" radical on the left with a phonetic element on the right, reflecting typical logographic composition for food-related terms in the CJK script system.
