Han character 𰼫

It is the last character of a Ming prince’s given name.

The Ming History table names the Tangxi Prince Gong'an as 在𰼫 and dates his appointment as heir to Wanli 10 (1582). The table gives no gloss or pronunciation for 𰼫.

Ming naming rules were created to avoid duplicate names: each princely house had a poem with one generation character per step, then a second name character selected by its radical in a cycle through the Five Phases—fire, earth, metal, water, wood. The table places 朝型, 在𰼫, and 肅濟 in three successive generations; 金, the metal radical, marks 𰼫’s place in the cycle. A radical classifies part of a character; it does not define the whole name.
