Chinese character 𨻳

36596/42720

𨻳 has two recorded Chinese readings: yān, an alternate way to write 鄢 in a place name, and yàn, an alternate way to write 堰, a low barrier that controls water. An old Chinese history uses the yàn form in a military ruse with a false weir, while a county record uses 𨻳 in a place name.

Text symbol

What 𨻳 means

Use its context: a place name or a water barrier. One county list in the Chinese history book Book of the Later Han links 𨻳陵 to 鄢, a place name from the Spring and Autumn period; an earlier geographical record from the Former Han, the Book of Han, writes the county as 傿陵. Another passage says soldiers set up a false weir to look as if they were fishing, then cross the river below it. This is the yàn use, equivalent to 堰.

Why does 𨻳 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.
