Metal End Fitting

35886/42720

𨰭 is a Chinese character with the Mandarin pinyin reading zuǎn; it names metal end fittings on blades, spears, or staffs. A Buddhist glossary calls it the metal sleeve at a monk’s staff end, or ferrule, and compares regional terms from Jiangnan and Guanzhong, two Chinese regions. The 1986–1993 Hanyu Da Cidian, a Chinese dictionary, records Beijing Mandarin 𨰭子 for a wooden door bar that receives the pivot.

What 𨰭 means

A Song dynasty building manual uses 𨰭 in its board-door rules.

The Yingzao Fashi (Building Standards) is a Chinese construction manual that set methods and measurements for builders. Its plank-door chapter uses the character in instructions for fittings above and below the door pivot. The manual was issued in 1103; that dates this recorded use, not the character’s origin.

Why does 𨰭 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
