Chōng character in bird names

41355/42720

𪆊 is a rare Chinese character found in bird names, not a clear everyday word alone. The 1716 Kangxi Dictionary gives it the Mandarin reading chōng; the 997 Buddhist dictionary Longkan Shoujian records 𪅖 as a written variant.

Text symbol

What 𪆊 means

It does not identify one bird by itself.

Chinese reference works put it in several names: one for a cuckoo, one for a heron, and one for a blue-white bird compared with a crow. The neighboring character carries the clue.

Why does 𪆊 show as a box?

The font or app may lack its glyph; the text can still contain 𪆊. A box is a display issue, not a different bird-name reading.
