Old form of 撫

12013/42720

𢻬 is an old form of 撫, the Chinese verb “to soothe” or “stroke gently.” Modern Chinese writes it as 撫 in traditional characters or 抚 in simplified characters. A disputed Warring States proposal links a similar manuscript graph to “loss.”

Text symbol

What 𢻬 means

It is a variant of 撫, read fǔ in Mandarin. Dictionaries gloss the verb as soothing or stroking.

The Shuowen Jiezi, an early character dictionary, records 𢻲 as another form. It treats 攴 as an action component and 亡 as a sound element. Chen Shu’s 2015 study proposed that a related graph in Warring States Chu slips of the Zhouyi (Book of Changes) wrote 喪, “loss”; this reading is disputed.

A dictionary-listed variant; modern Chinese ordinarily uses 撫 or 抚.

A box may mean the font or app lacks this glyph; the text can still contain 𢻬.

Why does 𢻬 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.
