Han ideograph 䛏

4816/6592

䛏 has several recorded speech-related meanings: calling, entreating, showing words to someone, and speech that fails to get through. A Yùpiān gloss around 543 calls it 呼人 (“call someone”); later records link it with 呢 and 泥. It belongs in historical or lexicographic writing; in casual chat, spell out the intended action.

What 䛏 means

Dictionary records attach several speech acts to 䛏. A Yùpiān, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 543, glosses 䛏 呼人 as “call someone.” The later Song-dynasty Jíyùn, completed in 1039, records further readings; the trail is lexicographic rather than a single settled everyday definition.

In Chinese dictionaries, ní (rising tone) covers calling or asking and the “plead, be stuck, linger” senses linked to 泥; nǐ (dipping tone) means “show words to someone” and is linked to 呢; nì (falling tone) describes speech that does not get through. A Japanese dictionary gives デイ for stopping someone or pressing a request, so the language and dictionary matter. Use it in a quotation or specialist discussion; in casual chat, spell out the intended sense.

Treat it as historical or lexicographic writing, not a neutral casual-text shortcut.

Alone, it leaves “call,” “plead,” and “blocked speech” unresolved.

Why does 䛏 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.

Font
䛏 missing from view usually signals a font coverage gap; changing strokes also calls for a font with the needed glyph.
JIS / Shift_JIS
JIS X 0213 and Shift_JIS-2004 have no assignment for 䛏 (checked 2026-09-10); Unicode input avoids that encoding limit.
HKSCS-2008
HKSCS-2008 maps 䛏 to a byte sequence, so this encoding can support it while another fails.
