CJK ideograph 21997

6552/42720

𡦗 is an old form of 孺, the Chinese character for a young child. In an old text, read it as 孺; the unusual spelling does not change the meaning. Its trail runs through old dictionaries and Dunhuang manuscripts.

Text symbol

What 𡦗 means

It is a historical variant of 孺, meaning “young child.”

The Yupian (玉篇), a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543, records it; a Dunhuang register of variant forms does too. Calligraphic variants were later regularized into this handwriting form. The meaning stays tied to 孺. Keep 𡦗 when transcribing a source; use 孺 as the standard form.

Why does 𡦗 show as a box?

That is a font-coverage issue. Extension B contains rare, historic characters, so a font without this glyph may show a box while the text still contains 𡦗.
