Chinese character for otter

2702/6592

㺍 is a Chinese character for an otter. Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, records 猵 for the animal; 獱 is another form, and 㺍 is its simplified form. In a message, surrounding words explain why the sender chose this character.

Text symbol

What 㺍 means

㺍 is the cjk unified ideograph-3e8d. Unicode classifies it as a letter and files it in the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block; this site shelves it under Chinese, Japanese & Korean.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

㺍 is a single code point, U3E8D. In HTML that is 㺍, and in CSS \3E8D.

Lexical and specific: it names an otter and has older written forms.

A lone 㺍 names the animal, but not why the sender chose it.

Why does 㺍 show as a box?

It is a font issue: the current font has no drawing for this character, so the app shows a missing-glyph box.
