Rare Chinese character

𣋈 is read cháng in Mandarin and appears in Taiwanese personal names. It is probably a variant of 嘗, whose dictionary senses include tasting, trying, and “ever”; that link alone does not reveal a name’s intended meaning.

Text symbol

What 𣋈 means

It is probably a variant of 嘗 used in names. Taiwan’s household-registration character set records it for uncommon personal-name spellings.

Forms of 嘗 appear in Western Zhou bronze inscriptions. The Han-era dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses 嘗 as “to taste”; other uses include “try,” “experience,” “ever,” and an autumn rite for offering the new grain. These meanings do not define what a particular person intended by 𣋈 in a name.
