Han character 𠀓

𠀓 has no settled everyday translation. Chinese lexicons give competing Mandarin readings, written in Pinyin, the Latin-letter spelling system for Mandarin: xī, roughly “shee” with a high, level tone, and sī, a high, sustained sibilant syllable with a faint vowel. One entry marks the meaning unknown; the older Kangxi Dictionary records sī, while another equates the character with 亞.

Chinese and Japanese lexicons list 𠀓 as an old form of 亞. The character 亞 appears in early inscriptions, and later Chinese uses include “second” or “next.” This is a historical link, not a reason to replace 亞 with 𠀓 in present-day writing.

Should I send 𠀓 in a message?

Only when the character itself is the point. Use it in a dictionary note, a historical spelling, or a text-rendering test. Sent alone, it leaves a recipient guessing whether you mean a reading, the old-form link, or an unavailable glyph; add words that identify your point.
