Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+9958 "饘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in classical and literary contexts, representing a type of thick congee or gruel made from grains, often associated with ancient culinary practices and ceremonial offerings. Its composition combines the radical for food or eating (食) with a phonetic element (亶) that hints at its pronunciation in modern Mandarin as "zhān." Historically, this character appears in early Chinese texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" dictionary, where it denotes a densely cooked rice porridge, distinct from thinner soups, and it occasionally carries symbolic connotations of simplicity or sustenance in classical poetry and philosophical writings.
