㿸 character

3065/6592

㿸 means skin peeling; another reading means skin itself. As of 2026, regional dictionaries list it in words for skin grime, including 牙㿸 for dental plaque in some varieties. Alone in a message, it has no fixed conversational meaning.

Text symbol

What 㿸 means

It describes skin coming away from the body. Dictionary glosses also give it a sense of skin itself. An entry in Guangya, a Chinese dictionary from the early 3rd century CE, places it among words for peeling and separation.

Later rhyme dictionaries list 㿸 alongside the variant forms 𥀗 and 𥀤. As of 2026, regional listings give it a skin-grime sense in Hakka and Xiang, two Chinese language varieties; a Cantonese dictionary records 老泥 for the same idea. 牙㿸 names dental plaque in Changsha and Pingxiang, which are places, and in Gan and Xiang, which are regional language varieties.

Treat 㿸 as a word, not a reaction.

Use it alone only when both people share the dialect or source text. Otherwise, add the surrounding word: 㿸 is a lexical form, not a stock reaction.

Lexical and regional; a standalone message feels specialized.

Alone, it may look like an unexplained dictionary character.
