Han character 31BCA

2171/4192

𱯊 is an alternate form of 琥, a character for ancient military and ritual jade objects. A Buddhist rare-character dictionary published in 1988 records this version; Unicode’s chart links it to Taiwan’s CNS 11643 source T13-3835. Unicode added it in 2022, which dates digital encoding, not the form’s origin.

Text symbol

What 𱯊 means

It is a form of 琥, read hǔ in Mandarin. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education defines 琥 as a jade token for mobilizing troops or a tiger-shaped jade used in rites to the west.

Shuowen Jiezi, an old Chinese character dictionary, records the military-token sense; Rites of Zhou, a ritual handbook, describes the white-jade rite. The standard form also appears in 琥珀 (“amber”). A tiger-shaped jade excavated from an ancient tomb makes the ritual use concrete.
