Text symbol

What 𢳜 means

It names the act of wasting something.

The listed reading of 𢳜 is saai1 in Jyutping, which writes Cantonese sounds with Latin letters.

Alone, it names the action but not what was wasted; the sentence supplies the object.

Why is 𢳜 linked to 漇?

They are linked as meaning-related forms.

A 1947 edition of The Student’s Cantonese-English Dictionary records this exact form.

The classical Chinese poetry anthology Chu Ci uses 漇漇. The Kangxi Dictionary glosses 漇 as “flowing” or “moist”; those literary senses belong to 漇 in that context, not automatically to every use of 𢳜.

Why does 𢳜 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
