Han character 𪨆

775/4154

The Qing-era Chinese novel Hongloumeng has a version that uses 𪨆 where another has 尋 (“seek”). A Vietnamese Hán-Nôm dictionary separately records it for ỏi in ít ỏi (“scant, few”). Its reading depends on the language and passage around it.

Text symbol

What 𪨆 means

It means “seek” or “look for” in that passage. Different versions of the novel write a scene about searching a box for ginseng with 𪨆 or 尋. That comparison supports “search for” here, not a general equivalence.

What does it mean in Vietnamese?

A Vietnamese Hán-Nôm dictionary records it for ỏi. Hán-Nôm is the historical Vietnamese tradition of writing with Han characters and locally formed Nôm characters. The entry records 𪨆 for ỏi in ít ỏi (“scant, few”), separate from the novel’s “seek” reading.

Questions people ask

Why does 𪨆 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
