Wèi Fish-Name Character

40654/42720

𩻍 is a Chinese fish-name character read wèi in Mandarin. It is a variant of 䲁, but references differ: one Taiwan dictionary links 䲁 to tuna (鮪), while fish taxonomies use 䲁/鳚 for blennies.

Text symbol

What 𩻍 means

It names a fish, but the species depends on the source. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education Variant Dictionary lists 𩻍 as a variant of 䲁 and traces the fish-name sense to Guangyun, an old Chinese pronunciation dictionary. The later Zhengzitong links 䲁 to tuna (鮪). Han Dian equates 𩻍 with 鳚; Taiwan’s fish database uses 䲁科 for the blenny family. Read it as a fish-name character; use context to identify the species.

Why does 𩻍 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.
