Text symbol

What 𰢼 means

It means fear, and in some phrases, respect.

畏 appears on Shang oracle bones, records used in divination, and later on bronze inscriptions from China's Western Zhou period. Its early form may show a ghost holding a stick, likely a picture of fear. The Han-era dictionary Shuowen Jiezi instead describes a ghost's head with tiger claws.

Why does 𰢼 show as a box?

It can: a browser using a font without this CJK Extension G glyph may show a blank or fallback box. The text still contains 𰢼; the font is missing its shape.
