Han Character 𮆼

𮆼 is a rare form linked to 藻, the Han character for algae and water plants. Some lexicons treat it as a form of 藻; others mark it as an error. The Han-dynasty <i>Shuowen Jiezi</i> calls 藻 a water plant and records its earlier form, 薻.

What 𮆼 means

Some references equate it with 藻; others call it a miswriting.

A Korean Hanja dictionary lists 𮆼 as 藻; a Chinese reference calls this form erroneous. For the ordinary character for algae, use 藻; retain 𮆼 when transcribing a source that prints it. Classical Chinese also uses 藻 for ornament or fine writing, a literary extension of its patterned plant sense.

Where does 玉𮆼 appear?

A reference records it as a form of 玉藻.

A Chinese reference equates 玉𮆼 with 玉藻. The term names jade ornaments hanging from a ruler's ceremonial crown in ancient Chinese tradition.

Why does 𮆼 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.
