cjk unified ideograph-2b45e

Han character 𫑞

3423/4154

The Unicode 12.0 chart gives 𫑞 no standalone gloss; its source tag points to an index of Shang and Zhou bronze inscriptions. That tag traces a source, not the character’s meaning in a particular inscription.

Text symbol

What 𫑞 means

It names an index of bronze inscriptions.

GZJW-00646 is the source label linked to 𫑞 in the Unicode 12.0 chart. GZJW abbreviates Yinzhou Jinwen Jicheng Yinde, an index to Shang and Zhou bronze inscriptions. Its number was assigned during character standardization; it is not an entry number in the index.

A 2010 proposal warned that some GZJW forms may have been modernized for the index and requested links to their bronze originals. That warning concerns the source family, not this glyph’s proven history.

Why does 𫑞 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.
