U+9982 "馂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9982 "馂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "sacrificial food" or "leftover offerings" from ancient rituals, often referring to meats or grains that were presented to deities or ancestors and then consumed after the ceremony. It is composed of the radical "飠" (meaning "food" or "to eat") on the left, and the phonetic component "夋" on the right, which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin as "jùn" and in Japanese as "sen" or "shun." Historically, this character appears in classical texts such as the "Records of the Grand Historian" and the "Book of Rites," where it describes the practice of redistributing consecrated food, reflecting its cultural significance in ancient East Asian sacrificial customs.
