𢲻, variant of 撮

11452/42720

𢲻 is read as 撮, a Chinese character for taking something between the fingers or gathering a little. Historical dictionaries also use 撮 for a pinch-sized measure, an old link between the hand action and a measured amount.

Text symbol

What 𢲻 means

Yes; 𢲻 is a documented variant form of 撮.

Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, defines 撮 both as four tiny traditional measuring units called 圭 and as pinching with two fingers. Stone inscriptions from the Han–Wei periods of Chinese history already show 撮 with 㝡, an older written form of 最, on the right; 𢲻 keeps that component.

Why might 𢲻 show as a box?

Your active font may not include its glyph.

In 2024, Windows 10 and later included 𢲻 in their default PMingLiU and DFKai-SB Chinese fonts. Other fonts may lack it, so a blank box can signal missing font coverage; the encoded character stays the same.

Why does 𢲻 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
