What 糋 means
It names a fried grain cake or flour-based snack.
The Song-era Jiyun, a dictionary that groups characters by sound, records 糋 with the two-character food gloss 煎餌. The work was completed in 1039, the earliest dictionary record identified for this character.
The Ministry of Education of Taiwan’s 2024 dictionary notes that the earlier Shuowen Jiezi character dictionary does not include 糋.
How do I type 糋?
Try a Mandarin pinyin input method, then check its candidate list.
Enter jian in a Mandarin pinyin input method and inspect the choices. One syllable can point to many Han characters, and input methods may put familiar choices first; component or stroke input, handwriting recognition, or a character picker are useful fallbacks.
As of 2026, hexadecimal entry depends on the app: in Word and Outlook on Windows, type 7CCB and press AltX (some French and German editions use AltC); on macOS, enable Unicode Hex Input and hold Option while entering 7CCB; in GNOME text fields on Linux, press CtrlShiftU, type 7CCB, then Space or Enter.
Neutral in historical or dictionary writing; specialized enough to need context in casual chat.
Alone, it can read as an unexplained character rather than a food reference.

Questions people ask
1Why does 糋 appear as a box?
As of 2026, a square usually means the font or app cannot draw 糋; the text may still be correct. Font and language settings can also change Han character shapes without changing the encoded character. Try a broader Han font or a system character viewer.
