Han character 𭹀

3985/7473

𭹀 is a historical written variant of 珍, the Chinese character for something precious, valuable, or rare. If you meet it in an old text, read it as 珍; the sentence decides its exact sense. A stone inscription from the Eastern Han, known as the Zheng Gu stele, preserves this spelling.

Text symbol

What 𭹀 means

No. It represents the same Chinese character. In historical Chinese, 珍 could describe rare wonders and fine food; as a verb, it could mean to cherish something.

How did this spelling arise?

In 珍, the right-hand part hints at its sound. That part changed shape in clerical and regular Chinese writing, two historical handwriting styles, producing written variants such as 𭹀.

Use 珍 for ordinary Chinese prose; reserve 𭹀 for preserving a historical spelling.

Why does 𭹀 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.
