Old form of 騁

An old form of 騁: “to gallop” or “let loose.”

Its Mandarin reading is chěng, roughly “chung” with a dipping-rising tone. The character repeats 馬, the Chinese character for horse, three times, echoing horses running together. The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi defines 騁 as a horse running straight; later dictionaries including Jiyun, Zihui, and Kangxi Zidian also list 𩧢 as an old form.

The galloping sense extends through the 騁 word family to “let loose” and “display ability.” Use 騁 in traditional Chinese and 骋 in simplified Chinese; keep 𩧢 for a historical source, quotation, or name that uses this spelling.

What does it mean when someone sends 𩧢?

They are using the old 騁 variant.

Read it as a historical or deliberately distinctive spelling; the surrounding sentence or name supplies the specific sense. A 2009 report described a Beijing woman whose grandfather chose 𩧢 for her given name because of its galloping-horse meaning; computer-readable identity cards caused trouble with it.
