About
The character for food filling, written as "馅" in its simplified form and "餡" in the traditional form, is a phono-semantic compound that integrates the semantic component "食", meaning food and appearing as "饣" when simplified, with the phonetic component "臽", which indicates its pronunciation. This structure has consistently linked the character to culinary contexts, specifically denoting a mixture encased within pastries, dumplings, or similar items. The traditional form maintains the full food radical, emphasizing this edible nature, while the simplified version preserves the same compositional logic. Over time, the meaning has remained specialized to refer to stuffings or fillings, without broadening or shifting into other semantic areas, reflecting its stable role in describing a particular culinary concept.
