3259/4154

Text symbol

What 𫎺 means

Together with 𧽼, it means running around or chasing.

Mandarin pinyin, a Roman-letter guide to pronunciation: cāntán. Zuo Si’s Wu Du Fu, a Western Jin description of Wu’s capital, is the oldest cited literary home for the word; it uses the older spelling 䟃𧽼 and dates to the late third century. Tang-era poems keep its chase-and-rush sense. A Qing-era dictionary also records a reading of 䟃 meaning hurrying to a gathering.

Literary and archaic; use it in everyday writing only for a deliberate classical effect.

Why does 𫎺 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.
