Zhuang–Tày character for fruit

The language tells you which word it spells. In Zhuang Sawndip, 𭽝 writes mak (“fruit; nut”); in Tày Nôm, it writes mác (“fruit”). These are related words inherited from Proto-Tai. Thai หมาก and Lao ໝາກ are cognates too, but neither is a reading of this glyph.

Sawndip developed gradually through borrowed, adapted, and locally made forms based on Chinese characters. A stone inscription from 682 is early physical evidence; Song-era records describe broad use. These dates trace the writing tradition, not the first appearance of this exact character.
