𨾲, written variant of 鴸

36787/42720

𨾲 is a written variant of 鴸, a legendary bird in the ancient Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas, a book of places and marvels. The book describes it as owl-like, with human hands, and says its appearance foretells the exile of many talented people in that county.

What 𨾲 means

That identification is a later interpretation.

A 2008 interpretation links 鴸 with 丹朱 (Dan Zhu), a son of Yao, one of ancient China's legendary rulers. In that reading, Dan Zhu's spirit became a bird after death; the Classic of Mountains and Seas entry itself does not name 丹朱.

Why does 𨾲 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.
