Variant form of 寠

𪧘 is a variant of 寠, a Han character for poverty or an ill-appointed home. In Vietnamese Chữ Nôm it also writes cũ (“old”), so the text’s language changes the reading.

Text symbol

What 𪧘 means

It is a written variant of 寠. The traditional form appears in the Book of Odes, a Chinese poetry collection. A dictionary analyzes 寠 as 宀 (“roof”) plus 婁, a sound hint, and glosses it as a home too bare for rites; 𪧘 writes the lower part as 娄. Commentary on the line 終寠且貧 distinguishes lack of proper means for rites from lack of money (貧). Lexicons also gloss 寠 as “poor”; 瓯寠 names a narrow hillside plot.

How is 𪧘 used in Chữ Nôm?

It writes Vietnamese cũ, meaning “old.” Chữ Nôm is a Vietnamese writing system that adapted Han characters. A dictionary of Nguyễn Trãi’s 15th-century poems records 𪧘 in a verse about keeping an old resolve.

Why does 𪧘 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.
