Text symbol

What 䎎 means

It names upward flight or gliding.

Yupian, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 543, is its earliest known dictionary record. As of 2026, Taiwan's Ministry of Education character-variants dictionary says Shuowen Jiezi does not record it; Guangyun and Jiyun do.

Guangyun glosses 𦑣䎎 as “a flying appearance.”

Is 䎎 read nà or mà?

References disagree; both readings are listed.

Both are Mandarin pinyin with a falling tone: say “na” or “ma” as your voice drops.

Why does 䎎 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
