What 𧲊 means

Here, it marks the act of presenting ritual offerings.

Jingdian Shiwen, a glossary compiled in the late sixth century, annotates this Book of Changes passage. Its copied editions differ: one writes 𧲊 for 薦, while others print 𧲛.

Here, 薦 means presenting offerings. Commentators differ on the exact actions in the earlier rite called 盥.

Why does 𧲊 show as a box on Windows?

It may be a font issue. As of 2026, Taiwan’s CNS 11643 says Windows 10 and later include 𧲊 in MingLiU and DFKai-SB; check the app’s selected font if a box remains.
