What 餽 means
It means an offering of food, a gift, or a ritual sacrifice.
The earliest evidence found in this review is textual: Shuowen Jiezi records 餽 as a Wu term for sacrifice. No earlier inscriptional form was established here. Its commentary cites the Mencius passage about presenting a piglet and a Han History passage about sending provisions, showing the sense widening from rite to gift to supplies.
In reference use, 餽 is linked with 饋. Read it as “offer food,” “give a gift,” or “make a ritual offering” by context, and copy it from the palette above when quoting a source.
Historical or variant form; keep it for quoted texts and traditional wording.
Do not translate it as only “gift”: it can name a ritual offering.
