cjk unified ideograph-2b63d

Hair-gathering character

3902/4154

𫘽 means gathering hair into a topknot; Mandarin reads it kuò, while Cantonese gives kut3 in Jyutping, its romanization system. 鬠 is the traditional form. In Yili, a classic Chinese ritual book, 鬠 appears in funeral instructions beside 笄, a short mulberry-wood hairpin: 鬠 means gathering the hair, not the pin. The Cantonese word 鬅鬠 also describes a slovenly appearance.

Questions people ask

1

Why does 𫘽 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
