Text symbol

What 𫴞 means

It writes Vietnamese thà rằng, “would rather.”

The phrase compares alternatives and says the first is preferable, even if neither choice is ideal. Chữ Nôm is a Vietnamese writing system that uses characters to write Vietnamese words.

How did Chữ Nôm develop?

It grew collectively from Chinese characters adapted for Vietnamese.

Vietnamese scholars used Chinese characters and their parts to write their language. Early surviving Nôm inscriptions include examples from Lý Cao Tông’s reign (1176–1210); that evidence dates the writing tradition, not this individual graph. Unicode records a Vietnamese source for this character within its shared Han-character collection.

Why does 𫴞 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.
