Han Character 2E1EC

4925/7473

𮇬 is a historical Han character whose reading depends on context. An early example survives in a Dunhuang manuscript of the Lotus Sutra, a Buddhist scripture; Dunhuang was an oasis town on China's Silk Road. Buddhist mantras (spoken ritual formulas) use it to spell sounds from Indian languages. In 2017, the University of Tokyo's Buddhist-text project encoded it so its digital canon could be searched as text.

What 𮇬 means

Its role changes with the source phrase.

Texts from China's Tang dynasty, a medieval imperial period, use it inside mantras—spoken Buddhist formulas—to spell sounds from Indian languages. Classical titles, personal names and dictionaries show other uses, so read the character through its surrounding phrase.

Your font may lack it. In 2018, the University of Tokyo's SAT site recommended Hanazono Mincho because few fonts then covered every character in Extension F.
