What 嶲 means
Enter U2F9F4, or append UFE00 to 嶲. In an editor that offers hexadecimal Unicode input, use 2F9F4; exact keystrokes depend on the app. The sequence 嶲 UFE00 is the standardized way to request this variant.
嶲 is assigned to CNS 7-3535, part of Taiwan’s CNS 11643 national character-encoding standard. The CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement was included for round-trip conversion with CNS 11643-1992. Unicode’s canonical decomposition maps this code point to 嶲, so normalization can erase the separate encoding distinction.
The older character behind 嶲 is 巂. The Eastern Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi describes 巂 as a bird (周燕) and retells a legend about the ancient Shu kingdom, in present-day Sichuan, linking 子巂 to the cuckoo. Later Chinese dictionaries list 嶲 as a variant of 巂, and the form appears in the Han-era place name 越巂. These are historical uses, not a texting meaning of 嶲.
An encoding-specific form, not a conversational tone marker.
Normalization can fold 嶲 into 嶲 and remove its separate encoded distinction.
