What 䃌 means
Stone or rocky mountain; 䃌山 has a distinct place-name reading.
The surviving Classic of Mountains and Seas, a Chinese work of geography and marvels, names 䃌山 and 䃌水.
Chinese dictionaries 玉篇, 集韻, and 類篇 preserve the stone sense: Mandarin pinyin zhēn (roughly “jen,” tongue slightly curled back, high and steady); 䃌山 uses yīn (“een,” also high and steady). As of 2026, Taiwan’s dictionary notes that 說文, an early dictionary, omits 䃌.
Rare, literary, and attested in classical Chinese place names.
In 䃌山, say yīn (“een,” high and steady), not the stone reading zhēn (“jen”).

Questions people ask
1Why does 䃌 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
