Chinese character 䝊

4939/6592

䝊 is a rare Chinese character for a sow; Mandarin pronounces it roughly “shah,” with a falling tone (pinyin spelling shà). Dictionaries list it as a variant of 𧲌. In a chat, a lone 䝊 is best treated as a lookup, quotation or input test unless the sender explains.

What 䝊 means

A sow: a female pig, often described as old.

Older Chinese livestock vocabulary distinguished pigs by sex and age. This is a dictionary word, not an everyday term.

The sixth-century Chinese character dictionary Yupian (玉篇) already lists 䝊 as a variant of 𧲌. The Song-era rhyme dictionary Guangyun glosses 𧲌 as “female pig.” Together, these entries connect 䝊 to an old dictionary word for a sow.

A dictionary word with no established chat reaction as of 2026; alone, it needs context.

Aimed at a person, the sow meaning can sound insulting.

Why does 䝊 show as a box or a different shape?
