Text symbol

What 𩻢 means

It is named as 鮺’s original written form.

The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled in Eastern Han China around 100 CE, defines the food as stored fish. It records 䰼 as the southern name and 鮺 as the northern one. A commentary describes using salt and rice to preserve fish and prevent spoilage.

It usually means the active font lacks 𩻢 or the app cannot render it. The box is a fallback display; the text can still contain the character.
