What 㿺 means
It names a bodily swelling or skin that is cracked or broken.
The historical record connects it with 𦢊, a variant with overlapping bodily senses. As of 2026, 𦢊 is absent from Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary; Taiwan's Ministry of Education traces it through Yupian, Guangyun, and Jiyun, later dictionaries where it overlaps with 㿺. The Shan Hai Jing, an early Chinese work about unusual lands and beings, describes a bird curing the condition; the commentator Guo Pu glosses it as wrinkled skin.
In Hong Kong Cantonese, the compound 㿺㿭 is a spelling for dry, cracked skin; 爆拆 is another.
What does 㿺㿭 mean?
It means dry skin that has split, peeled, or started bleeding.
A 2017 entry in a Cantonese dictionary lists 㿺㿭 alongside 爆拆, 爆擦, and 爆坼 as spellings for dry, cracked skin. A 2022 Hong Kong commentary notes that claimed Cantonese original-character spellings—characters thought to be a word's original form—can circulate without secure documentary support.
For readers outside Cantonese orthography, state the skin problem in plain words. Alone, 㿺 can leave the intended sense unclear.
Clinical and dialect-marked: 㿺 names a bodily condition; 㿺㿭 marks a Hong Kong Cantonese spelling.
Without Cantonese context, standalone 㿺 is ambiguous; say plainly whether you mean swelling or cracked skin.

2Is 爆拆 another spelling of 㿺㿭?
Yes, in this Cantonese skin-condition use. A dictionary lists both spellings; 爆拆 is clearer for readers unfamiliar with Cantonese character choices.
Why does 㿺 show as a box?
A font may lack 㿺 and show a box or fallback glyph instead. Its appearance changes, not the text.
