Chinese character 𫏸

3321/4154

𫏸 is recorded as the same character as 轭 (traditional 軛), a crosspiece that harnesses an ox or horse to a vehicle. A Chinese dictionary also records 𫏸 in Taiwanese personal names and gives wéi as its Mandarin reading.

Text symbol

What 𫏸 means

A yoke—the crosspiece that harnesses an animal to a vehicle.

The Chinese encyclopedia Taiping Yulan, compiled during the Song dynasty, preserves earlier passages that use 轭 for actual cart gear: one describes an imperial cart; another tells how a broken yoke became an omen before battle. The omen belongs to the story, not to a second definition for this character.

Why does 𫏸 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.
