What 䋦 means
It names silk in disorder: tangled or snarled silk.
In the Shuowen tradition, an early Chinese character dictionary, a related form is glossed as an ornament for a horse’s mane. The later dictionary Yupian records 䋦 for tangled silk and distinguishes it from 䋣 despite their shared Mandarin reading.
As of 2026, a Wu-dialect dictionary also records a regional mourning custom: hemp or white cloth was fixed to shoes or hats. This is a historical use, separate from the default textile gloss.
What does 䋦 mean in Vietnamese Nôm?
In Vietnamese Nôm, 䋦 can write mối.
As of 2026, a Vietnamese Nôm dictionary records 䋦 for mai mối and for mối as a link, intermediary, or persistent worry; it also records a transferred use for a segment of fruit. The surrounding Nôm words identify the intended sense, so these readings do not carry over automatically into Chinese text.
What if someone sends 䋦 alone?
A bare 䋦 needs context; it is not a standard chat reaction.
As of 2026, no settled chat reaction is documented for 䋦. Without a gloss, a message leaves open whether the sender means the textile gloss, a Wu-dialect historical term, or a Nôm reading.
As of 2026, Taiwan’s CNS 11643 record shows Kai, Hei, and Song typeface forms of this character. If a device shows a box, its font may lack the glyph; font design changes the strokes, not the character’s identity.
Rare and specialist; in casual chat, its reading is unclear without a gloss.
Do not treat a bare 䋦 as a clear reaction.

1Why does 䋦 appear as a box?
Usually the current font lacks a glyph for 䋦, so the device shows a fallback box. That box is a display problem, not a replacement character or a change in meaning.
