Chinese character 𪣻

508/4154

𪣻 is a rare Chinese character for a small mound, loose earth, or a small burial mound. You are most likely to meet it when reading a dictionary or preserving older Chinese text. It is the simplified form of 塿, and dictionaries list the two forms with different Mandarin tone marks.

Text symbol

What 𪣻 means

It names a small mound, loose earth, or a small burial mound.

The early Chinese dictionary 說文 glosses traditional 塿 as earth. 方言, a text that records regional words, gives it for a small mound or burial mound; later dictionary glosses also include dust or loose soil.

𪣻 is the simplified form of 塿: it keeps 土, the earth component, and simplifies 婁 to 娄. This changes the written form, not the character's core senses.

How do I type 𪣻?

Use Unicode input if your Chinese input method does not offer it.

When your Chinese input method does not return this rare entry, hexadecimal Unicode input is a practical fallback.

If the glyph appears as a box, your font may not contain it. A supporting font will display the same character.

What if someone sends 𪣻 alone?

Treat it as a character reference, not a mood cue.

Without surrounding Chinese text, the glyph alone tells you little about why it was sent. Ask for the source phrase or a familiar paraphrase; in ordinary chat, familiar wording is clearer unless someone is transcribing a source.

For exact transcription, preserve the character. For casual conversation, a short gloss or a familiar word is easier to understand.

Rare and dictionary-shaped; a lone send reads more like exact transcription than casual chat.

A lone 𪣻 gives too little context to infer the sender's tone.

Questions people ask

1

Why does 𪣻 use lóu but 塿 use lǒu?

Chinese dictionaries list 𪣻 as Mandarin lóu and 塿 as lǒu. In Pinyin, lóu has the second, rising tone; lǒu has the third tone, which is low and may dip before rising. A related written form does not ensure dictionaries give the same tone.
