Simplified form of 鉎

𰽫 is a rare simplified form of 鉎 for rust.

𰽫 keeps 鉎’s meaning, replaces traditional left-side metal component 釒 with simplified 钅, and leaves 生 on the right. Older dictionaries include 玉篇 and Song-era 廣韻, a reference dictionary organized by sound.

Can it mean more than rust?

Yes: Taiwan Hokkien also uses 鉎 for dirt and skin grime.

As of 2026, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionary for Taiwanese Hokkien, a Southern Min variety, records 鉎 (romanized sian) for rust, grime, and dirt on skin. Examples include 生鉎 (senn-sian, “to rust”) and 鐵鉎 (thih-sian, “iron rust”); regional readings include sian and san.
