• Appears in the Unicode block Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs.

History & usage: The character depicts DUMPLING. In the name tokens, the semantic descriptor DUMPLING signals a pictographic idea rather than a phonetic value, and no separate sign or mark token appears. In general terms, tokens indicating function, shape, or qualifier help writers choose style or spacing rules, while broad category tokens guide grouping in typographic work. The name is tied to the Common script and the Extended information is within the Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs block, which informs how it appears alongside other pictographic items. Two to three practical usage contexts emerge: within educational primers on contemporary emoji usage, as a pictorial item in dictionaries or glossaries explaining food-related emoji, and in scholarly editions or archival transcriptions that document modern symbolic language for cultural history. If a typographic revival or a paleographic specimen exists, this symbol can serve as an example of Extended Pictograph design history. Cross‑platform rendering and screen-reader accessibility should be checked to ensure the image is consistently conveyed across devices.
