According to 'Udon-no-rekishi' (The History of Udon noodles) written by Masaru AOKI, the Chinese equivalent for Won-on (Chinese dumpling) is written as '餛飩' (pronounced 'Konton') in Chinese characters, which is also written as '餫飩' (pronounced 'Unton' or 'Konton').
青木正児の「饂飩の歴史」によれば、ワンタンに相当する中国語は「餛飩」（コントン）と書き、またこれを「餫飩」（ウントン、コントン）とも書く。
