Chinese character 䪾

䪾 reads zhěn in Mandarin, roughly “jen” with a dipping tone. Its earliest gloss is to handle affairs carefully without showing it in one’s expression; later glosses include shame and a sparsely haired head. 《說文解字》, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 100–121 CE, links 頁 to the head and 㐱 to sound. As of 2026, a dictionary records “mock” as a Southwestern Mandarin sense; alone, it does not identify the intended gloss.
