cjk unified ideograph-293dd

Variant form of 鞻

37854/42720

Chinese Wubi can enter 𩏝 directly, and HTML source has a character reference for it. Dictionaries connect 𩏝 with 鞻, read lóu in Mandarin; 鞻 appears in the Zhouli, an ancient classic on ritual and government, in the office title 鞮鞻氏 (Diloushi). Its old meaning is debated: one reading points to dancers’ shoes, another to rapid, continuous singing.

What 𩏝 means

In Chinese Wubi, enter nhkv; in HTML source, use 𩏝.

Wubi is a shape-based Chinese input method, and its installed dictionary must include this rare form.

What does 𩏝 mean?

Dictionaries list 𩏝 as a variant form of 鞻.

The Zhouli, a classic on court ritual and administration, assigns 鞮鞻氏 responsibility for music and songs associated with peoples beyond the Zhou court’s center. A traditional commentary connects the title with performers’ leather shoes. In 2025, two studies disagreed: one linked the title to shoes and dances on drums during the Han dynasty; another argued that it evokes speech and song that run quickly and continuously.

Why does 𩏝 show as a box?

That usually means the selected font or app lacks the glyph; on some phones, browsers, or desktop apps it may appear as a box or blank. That is a display issue, not a different character (as of 2026).
