Chinese bird-name character

5533/5762

𬶼 is a rare Chinese character used for a bird name in older texts. A Ming-era rhyme dictionary links it with 剖苇 (“reed-splitter”), a name for a small bird that feeds among reeds; a poem printed in 1592 describes a flock of 𬶼 arriving at dusk. Another recorded compound uses 𬶼 to describe a boat’s long shape, so surrounding words matter.

Text symbol

What 𬶼 means

It appears in bird-name lists. A rhyme dictionary—a reference book arranged by sound—pairs 𬶼 with 剖苇 (“reed-splitter”). The name refers to a small bird that opens reed stems to eat the insects inside.

What does 鸼𬶼 mean?

The pair 鸼𬶼 describes a long boat. A dictionary gloss gives the two-character phrase for the boat’s long outline. That context differs from the bird-name entries: let the full term, not 𬶼 alone, decide which sense fits.

Why does 𬶼 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension E 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.
