cjk unified ideograph-2defe

Proposed form for 旋 and 漩

4175/7473

𭻾 can stand for 旋 (“turn or return”) or 漩 (“whirlpool”), depending on context. A Buddhist text collection also records it; the simplification proposal that reused it was withdrawn.

Text symbol

What 𭻾 means

It was proposed for both 旋 and 漩.

A University of Tokyo project records it in the digital Taishō Buddhist canon, a printed collection from Japan (1924–1934).

Mainland China's 1977 draft put it in a second table still open to discussion. The plan's “feature character” method kept a recognizable part to reduce strokes; the State Council withdrew the draft in 1986.

In standard writing, choose 旋 or 漩 by meaning.

Why does 𭻾 show as a box on some devices?

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