What 㙯 means
It carries the planting, skill, and art senses of the 藝 word family.
The Han-dynasty Chinese dictionary Shuowen glosses the older related form 埶 as “to plant.” The family later covered skill and art, including the traditional Six Arts, a group of subjects in classical Chinese learning.
Is 㙯 an old form of 藝?
Yes: 㙯 is a rare historical variant in the 藝 word family. 藝 became the familiar form while 埶 fell out of ordinary use. In modern Chinese, choosing 㙯 signals a historical or specialist spelling.
Taiwan’s CNS 11643 character record from 2024 shows specimens in regular script (楷體), black or sans-serif style (黑體), and Song style (宋體); it lists Windows 10 support in 細明體 and 標楷體. As of 2026-09-06, the documented reading is Mandarin; no separate modern Japanese or Korean reading is listed.
Beside familiar modern 藝, 㙯 reads as a deliberate historical or specialist spelling.

Questions people ask
1Why does 㙯 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
