Han character 𨻤

36581/42720

The Han character 𨻤 (Mandarin shǎn) describes unsettled, wavering behavior; an old dictionary also glosses it as “not charming.” Its Shuowen Jiezi entry repeats it after words for moving forward and back, while a note links a related phrase to Ban Zhao’s Admonitions for Women, a text on women’s conduct.

What 𨻤 means

It describes behavior that will not stay steady. The Shuowen Jiezi is a classical Chinese character dictionary. Its explanation treats 女 (“woman”) as a clue to meaning and 陝 as a clue to pronunciation. The doubled form 𨻤𨻤 follows words for moving forward and back, giving the motion a wavering rhythm.

A commentary reads a related phrase in Ban Zhao’s Admonitions for Women as an unsteady bearing. A Chinese word collection, Tongsu bian, printed in 1751 records variant 𡟨 in the colloquial sense of slipping away when someone arrives.

Why does 𨻤 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.
