Chinese character mí

42221/42720

𪓬 is read mí in Mandarin and occurs in the old Chinese animal name 𪓬𪓹. One classical gloss compares the creature to a turtle; another calls it a sea whale, so the texts do not identify it confidently as one modern species.

Text symbol

What 𪓬 means

It appears in the classical animal name 𪓬𪓹.

A note attached to writer Guo Pu's poem Jiang Fu, composed in the early fourth century, describes the creature living in seaside sand. Jiang Fu is a poem about the Yangtze. A Chinese rhyme dictionary calls the animal turtle-like and edible; another dictionary quotation calls it a sea whale rich in oil. These accounts leave its modern species uncertain.

Is 𪓥 another form of 𪓬?

Yes. Taiwan's Ministry of Education lists 𪓥 as a variant of 𪓬.

The same variant dictionary also groups 𪓢 with 𪓬.

Why does 𪓬 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.
