Chinese character 㷷

2552/6592

㷷 is an old Chinese character for a thick soup with little broth, sometimes glossed as a rich fish stew. It is a variant of 臇, and that form appears among the dishes in a classical banquet poem. If it arrives by itself, its food meaning does not reveal what the sender intended.

What 㷷 means

A thick soup with little broth, sometimes a rich fish stew.

The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, records 㷷 as a variant form of 臇, using 火 (fire) where 臇 has 肉 (meat).

In the poem 名都篇, the Chinese poet Cao Zhi lists 臇 among banquet dishes beside carp and shrimp.

Old, specialist Chinese food vocabulary; outside a historical quotation, it can feel obscure.

By itself, it gives no clue to why the sender chose it.

Why does 㷷 show as a box?

A missing glyph in the active font. As of 2026, a phone or computer may show a box or blank if its font lacks 㷷; CJK fonts can also draw shared Han characters in different regional forms.
