What 㿐 means
Probably a skin or wound term; the references hedge.
Two tentative readings survive. A Japanese kanji dictionary marks the meaning as unknown and points to 痍 or 㾵 as the characters that may have been intended; a Chinese–Vietnamese–English dictionary keeps both links tentative and glosses 㿐 as a birthmark or dark patch on the skin, or a wound. Do not force one translation — if someone sends you 㿐 with no context, ask what they meant.
It is built from 疒 — the 'sickness' radical, the classifying part of disease characters — enclosing 趍, a structural note rather than a proven ancestor. The firm attestation is medical: a Qing dynasty compilation enters 㿐疮, 'skin sores', in its catalogue of skin conditions. Unicode added it in 1999 inside Extension A, the rare-ideograph block.
Why does 㿐 render differently — or not at all?
Your font probably does not cover it.
It sits in a rare-character block many fonts skip, so an app may show a box, a blank space or a substitute shape — and fonts that do include it need not match the official chart drawing. As of September 2026 coverage stays patchy; when the exact shape matters, check a Unicode code chart rather than whatever one font produced.
As of September 2026 it has no established chat-reaction reading; treat it as a rare text character, not an emoji.
Sent cold, a reader cannot tell whether you meant a skin mark or an injury; spell out which.

Worth knowing
- Its official name is generated, not chosen: Extension A ideographs were too rare to merit individual names, so each is just 'CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH' plus its code point.
Questions people ask
2Is 㿐 an emoji?
No. It is an ordinary text character — a rare Han ideograph — that only looks icon-like when a font falls back or fails to draw it.
Is 㿐 Chinese or Japanese?
Both, on paper. It appears in a Chinese medical compilation and in Japanese kanji dictionaries, but in each tradition it is a rare archival character rather than an everyday one.
