Autumn character (historic form)

1932/4154

𪺋 is an old form of 秋, the character for autumn. When it appears in a source, read it as that season word; it preserves an older spelling rather than naming a different thing.

Text symbol

What 𪺋 means

It writes 秋, the word for autumn.

A 1633 printing of the Ming character dictionary 《說文長箋》 (Shuowen Changjian) calls 𪺋 an ancient variant of 秋. In the same entry, 秋 is explained through grain ripening, linking the form to the harvest season. When transcribing an older source, keep its chosen form.

Why does 𪺋 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.
