What 䟮 means
It means lying face down or crawling close to the ground. Some dictionary entries also give falling or slipping as a sense.
The graph combines 足 with 伏 to make bodily movement explicit. 匐 is its more familiar variant in 匍匐, the word for crawling low; use 匐 when ordinary readers need to recognize the written word.
The Shijing, a classical Chinese poetry collection, includes 匍匐救之 in a line about crawling to rescue mourners. Shuowen, a classical Chinese character dictionary, glosses 匐 as going down to the ground and links the phrase's action with doing one's utmost.
Rare and dictionary-like; a stand-alone 䟮 may read as an obscure variant.
As of 2026, if a font does not show 䟮, it may omit the glyph or draw it differently; use 匐 when the exact form is unclear.

Questions people ask
1Why does 䟮 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.
