U+9987 "馇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9987 "馇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in various foods and cooking contexts, often representing a type of fried or cooked grain or a thick sauce, particularly in regional Chinese cuisine where it appears in words like "馇芸豆" (stir-fried green beans) or "馇粥" (a thick congee). It is composed of the radical "食" (food, eat) on the left and the phonetic element "查" on the right, and its usage is relatively specific compared to more common hanzi, yet it remains an integral part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoding a character recognized across multiple East Asian languages with variations in pronunciation and meaning.
