What 𱈃 means
It is a simplified written form of 𩹂.
𱈃 uses 鱼 where 𩹂 has 魚. Old Chinese sound dictionaries read 𩹂 as wèi and gloss it as a fish.
The Shan Hai Jing (“Classic of Mountains and Seas”), an ancient Chinese book of geography and marvels, describes a snake-like fish with four legs. A Song-era encyclopedia gives it as 𩹂; a Qing-era note says the passage has 鱧 instead.
Questions people ask
1Why does 𱈃 appear as a square?
A font gap is likely: current font coverage may lack this rare Extension G character. It can show as a square, question-mark box, or blank space while the text still contains 𱈃.
