cjk unified ideograph-239df

Classical Han character for mental confusion

14816/42720

𣧟 is an alternate written form of 殙, a classical word for mental confusion. In the Zhuangzi, a Chinese philosophical text, it labels the unsettled state in a gold-wager story. The rhyme dictionary Jiyun (1039) also records a gloss of 矜, meaning “to prize or value.”

What 𣧟 means

A precious prize pulls attention away from the task. The Zhuangzi story moves through wagers of a tile, a hook, and gold: the bettor’s skill does not change, but the higher stakes muddle the mind. The passage warns that concern for the reward can disrupt a skill that would otherwise stay steady.

Why does 𣧟 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.
