Vietnamese Nôm Character for Lên

It writes Vietnamese lên, meaning “up” or “to rise.”

This Chữ Nôm character belongs to a historical Vietnamese writing system built by adapting Chinese character forms to write Vietnamese. Here, 升 suggests upward movement, while 連 contributes a sound clue through its Vietnamese reading, liên. The wider script appears in a Vietnamese temple inscription dated 1210; a Vietnamese–Latin dictionary published in 1838 records this character. In context, 𨖲高 means lên cao (“go up high”), while 𨖲馭 in Truyện Kiều, a Vietnamese verse narrative, means lên ngựa (“get on a horse”).
