Radical food only occupies the 184th position in the long - character list of traditional radicals , which consists of 214 radicals. It can be found in a completely different place in modern abbreviation dictionaries. In the New Chinese-German Dictionary from the People's Republic of China, for example, it is in 68th position.

The original form 食 has been preserved and today has signs such as 飨 (= to entertain) and 餐 (= to dine). The radical is usually a symbol that conveys the meaning of food. In the variant飠( Abbreviation饣) the radical食occurs in the composite sign just to the left.

The meaning of the radical is food and drink or food in general. It therefore rules signs like wie (= cooked rice), 饱 (= full), 饼 (= round cake), 饪 (= prepare food) and 馆 (= inn). Derived from 食, 飠 (饣) can also appear as a sound carrier as in 饰 (shi = jewelry).

Spelling variants of the radical:飠and abbreviations (PRC)饣. With 飠 character combinations from U + 98E0 to 饢 U + 9962 are coded, then with 饣 from U + 9963 to 馕 U + 9995.
