Han character 𮌉

5210/7473

𮌉 may be a form of 炙, the character for roasting or roasted meat, but a Chinese dictionary marks the link as uncertain. In UTF-16, a common computer text format, it takes two four-digit escapes rather than one.

Text symbol

What 𮌉 means

One Chinese dictionary tentatively links it to 炙.

Han Dian, a Chinese character dictionary, says 𮌉 may be the same character as 炙. 炙 means “to roast or char” as a verb and “roasted meat” as a noun, so treat the connection as a clue rather than a settled reading.

Why is 𮌉 in a Buddhist text character set?

SAT proposed it for a digital Buddhist text edition.

SAT, a Buddhist-canon text database, lists 𮌉 among the characters its team proposed for the Taishō New Edition, a collected edition of Buddhist scriptures. This gives the glyph a documented source-text context.

Why does 𮌉 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.
