Chinese character for a rice cake

3808/4154

𫗟 is the simplified form paired with 䬧, a Chinese character for a round rice cake. The record runs from early Chinese regional word lists to a later explanation based on roundness; the Mandarin reading of 䬧 is yuán.

Text symbol

What 𫗟 means

It names a steamed cake made from glutinous rice.

Fangyan, a Western Han glossary of regional words, lists 䬧 among names for 餌. A Qing-era commentary on Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, describes 餌 as glutinous rice ground, shaped into a cake, then steamed. The Qing-era language scholar Wang Niansun connects 䬧 with 圜 (“round”) and says people of his day called round cakes 䬧.

Why does 𫗟 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.
