Text symbol

What 䭝 means

It names food, especially finely cut meat or fish, through 膾.

䭝 is recorded as a variant form of 膾. In classical Chinese, 膾 means finely cut meat or fish, and can also mean the act of cutting it.

The early Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi includes 膾 but not 䭝. Jiyun, a Song-dynasty rhyme dictionary that groups characters by sound and rhyme, was completed in 1039 and glosses 䭝 as “food.” By the Tang, 膾炙人口 used the food image to praise writing people admired widely.

Historical and lexicographic, tied to food vocabulary rather than everyday messaging.

䭝 alone in chat may read as an obscure food word instead of a reaction.
