Text symbol

What 𩎮 means

It is a borrowed spelling in classical poems. The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary, glosses 𩎮 with 衺 (“deviant; not straight”): 交 contributes meaning and 韋 signals sound. Writing under the Qing dynasty, Duan Yucai reads 回 in two Classic of Poetry lines as 𩎮: “crooked” in one, “contrary” in the other. He says it had fallen out of use by then, replaced by 違.

Why might 𩎮 show as a box?

In a browser, an empty box can mean no available font covers this Extension B character. Coverage varies; a font with Extension B support can render it. The missing glyph does not change the stored character.

How is 𩎮 read in Japanese?

A Japanese kanji dictionary lists なな-め (naname, “diagonally”) and イ (i) as its Japanese readings.
