Alternate form of 齦

42501/42720

𪘄 is an alternate written form of 齦 (simplified 龈), whose recorded senses include “to gnaw” and “gum.” The Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, from the Han dynasty (first completed in 100 CE), glosses 齦 as “to gnaw”; the Song-dynasty pronunciation-and-rhyme reference Guangyun, compiled in 1007–1008, records the gum sense.

Text symbol

What 𪘄 means

The standard form links teeth to a pronunciation cue.

Its historical analysis treats 齦 as “teeth” plus a sound-bearing part: one piece points to meaning, while the other helps cue pronunciation.

Why does 𪘄 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.
