What does 𪉍 mean?
𪉍 is the tū character in this bird name.
The compound 𪉍鹙 (Mandarin tūqiū) names an adjutant stork, a large water bird with a bare head. In this simplified Chinese spelling, 𪉍 corresponds to traditional 鵚. The older character 鹙 appears in the Shijing, an early Chinese poetry collection, in a verse about a bird at a fish weir. The Kangxi Dictionary, a major Chinese reference work, links 鵚 to 禿 (“bald”) plus 鳥 (“bird”), pointing to the bird’s bare head.
Is 𪉍鹙 an insult?
In one historical story, yes—the full compound mocks baldness.
In 498, the Zizhi Tongjian, a Chinese history chronicle, recounts an emperor teasing a bald courtier after his cap falls off, calling him a “bald stork.” The taunt belongs to 𪉍鹙 as a whole, not to 𪉍 alone.
