Character 𦰡

27682/42720

Cangjie users can enter 𦰡 with TSQL (廿尸手中). This rare Chinese character is preserved in local place names: Mandarin reads it nà in Taiwan's 𦰡拔林 and nuó in Hunan's 𦰡溪, so the place name sets the reading.

What 𦰡 means

Cangjie users can enter 𦰡 with TSQL.

In the Cangjie input method, TSQL represents the component sequence 廿尸手中. Other keyboard layouts may not offer this uncommon character in their candidate lists.

What does 𦰡 mean?

It is used mainly in local place names.

In Taiwan's 𦰡拔林, the Mandarin reading is nà; in Hunan's 𦰡溪 it is nuó. These are Pinyin spellings of Mandarin pronunciation. Cantonese references also give naa5 or laa5 in Jyutping, a system for writing Cantonese sounds.

Hunan geography records 𦰡溪 in the Qing period; an early Japanese-period administrative record from Taiwan includes 𦰡拔林. Together, these records show the character serving a practical naming role in two regions.

A rare character for exact local names; the place name supplies the reading.

Do not assume one reading across every place name.
