Text symbol

What 𪢤 means

The clearest phrase examples read it as kẻo, “lest” or “otherwise.”

Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese character forms to write Vietnamese words. A Hán-Nôm lookup records 𪢤 for kẻo in 𪢤𦓡 (“kẻo mà”) and 𪢤耒 (“kẻo rồi”); kẻo warns of an unwanted result. A separate HVDic index links 𪢤 to ghẹo (“tease”).

Chữ Nôm texts preserve variant spellings of Vietnamese words. Stone inscriptions in this writing tradition survive from the 12th century; that dates the script’s record, not this exact form.
