Han character 㸶

2615/6592

㸶 is a rare Chinese character glossed as 牛尾色, “the color of an ox’s tail”; Mandarin pinyin writes its reading yān, roughly “yen” on a high, level tone. Its documented sense is a dictionary gloss, not everyday vocabulary. The Chinese rhyme dictionary Guangyun was compiled in 1008, and a later Kangxi dictionary records 𤚕 as an alternate form.

Text symbol

What 㸶 means

It is glossed as 牛尾色, “the color of an ox’s tail.”

Guangyun, a Chinese rhyme dictionary, gives this animal-color gloss. A later Qing-era Kangxi dictionary repeats it and records 𤚕 as an alternate written form; both entries keep the meaning narrow, to an ox-tail color.

Why does 㸶 show as a box?

The active font may not include its glyph. A box or blank usually means the current font lacks coverage for this character; a font that includes it may display it.

Dictionary-like and specialist; without context, it can feel cryptic.
