Character for a drum sound

42275/42720

𪔢 is read lóng in Mandarin and means “drum sound.” It is recorded as an alternate form of 𪔳; the Shuowen Jiezi, an early character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, describes that related form as a drum sound, with 鼓 (“drum”) for meaning and 隆 as its sound clue. The Zihui (1615) gives 𪔢 the odd alternative “a drum without sound.”

What 𪔢 means

They preserve two definitions, not a proven change in everyday use.

The Jiyun (1037), a Chinese dictionary that groups characters by rhyming sounds, reads 𪔢 lóng as “drum sound.” The Zihui (1615), a general character dictionary, instead describes a silent drum.

Why does 𪔢 show as a box?

A font gap is likely. Some fonts lack this Extension B glyph. Taiwan's official CNS11643 character database offered a downloadable font for 𪔢 in its 2024 record; Unicode encoding alone does not provide the design.
