cjk unified ideograph-2a556

Rodent-name character

42327/42720

𪕖 belongs to an old local name, 𪕖𪕌鼠, for a small rodent. In the 1182 Fuzhou entry, a line about Wang Youjun ties the animal’s whiskers to calligraphy.

Text symbol

What 𪕖 means

It begins the three-character animal name. The Fuzhou gazetteer Chunxi Sanshan zhi—a book recording local history and life—was completed in 1182. It describes 𪕖𪕌鼠 as a small, rabbit-like creature with a furry tail that runs along vines.

The 1787 Yongchun gazetteer, also from Fujian, records 𪕖𪕌 as a small, dark animal that climbs vines.

What is the 𪕖 brush story?

It is a story about the animal, not another meaning. The 1182 entry says Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi, a celebrated Chinese calligrapher) used its whiskers to make a brush.

Why does 𪕖 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
