Old Form of 黽

42206/42720

𪓝 is an old written form of 黽, a character for a frog-like animal that also appears in 黽勉 (“to strive”). Taiwan’s CNS11643 character catalog gives this exact glyph the Mandarin reading mǐn.

Text symbol

What 𪓝 means

Yes. Shuowen Jiezi, an Eastern Han character dictionary, records 𪓝 as “籀文,” a written form attributed to Zhou-dynasty script.

It glosses 黽 as a frog-like animal. The Book of Songs, a collection of classical Chinese poems, uses 黽 in 黽勉, meaning “to strive” or “work hard.” Traditional Mandarin dictionaries give the animal and effort senses different readings: měng and mǐn.

Why does 𪓝 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.
