Snake-Eating Turtle Character

3288/4939

𰳗 is the simplified-form Chinese character for 蠳, read yīng in Mandarin; it appears in the old name 蠳龜, glossed as “snake-eating turtle.” An encyclopedia compiled in 1700–1725 links the turtle to a charm against snakes.

What 𰳗 means

One early written appearance is in Zhang Heng’s Eastern Han poem. His Nandu Fu (“Rhapsody on the Southern Capital”), a long poem about the southern capital, lists 蠳龜 among the region’s water creatures. A Chinese encyclopedia compiled in 1700–1725 identifies it as 攝龜, a small turtle said to eat snakes, and says people in the south carried its tail to ward off snakes.

Why does 𰳗 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.
