Text symbol

What 𪖸 means

For Cangjie, enter YMHUL.

Cangjie is a shape-based Chinese input method. This five-key code is listed for 𪖸; an input method can enter the character only if its dictionary includes it.

What does 𪖸 mean?

It is linked to 齇, a character for a red nose condition.

《玉篇》 (Yupian), a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543, glosses 齇 as a pimple on the nose. The Sui medical compendium 《諸病源候論》, compiled around 610, describes red bumps on the nose and face as 酒皶 and attributes them to drinking's heat meeting cold air.

A Ming-era glossary preserves the exact glyph in 𪖸奴, an insult in a court story where a son mocks his father's nose.

The attested 𪖸奴 is an appearance-based insult in a court story.

Questions people ask

2

How is 𪖸 pronounced?

The records disagree: a 2024 Taiwan Mandarin listing gives mǒu, while the link to 齇 points to zhā. Treat zhā as the reading of 齇, not as a settled reading for 𪖸.

Why might 𪖸 display as a box?

If 𪖸 shows as a box, your font lacks the glyph. Taiwan's default Windows 10 fonts include it; on other systems, choose a font with CJK Extension B coverage.
