cjk unified ideograph-29fca

Rare Han character

𩿊 appears in an unusual spelling of Huandou's name: 𩿊兜. An old dictionary describes its namesake as a birdlike figure with a human face, beak and wings.

What 𩿊 means

The name 𩿊兜 is the clearest clue.

The Chinese character-dictionary supplement 《字彙補》 equates 𩿊兜 with 驩頭 (Huantou). The Shangshu (Book of Documents), an ancient Chinese collection of records and speeches, names 驩兜 (Huandou) as a court figure in stories about the ancient rulers Yao and Shun.

A proposed reading of 𩿊 in Han-era bamboo slips (narrow writing strips) is disputed; a manuscript study suggests it may be a copying error for 鴅.
