Child’s hair character

6134/6592

䯵 is a Han character used in Chinese and Japanese writing for a young child’s hair or hairstyle; some dictionaries also gloss it as hair left after shaving. If someone sends it alone, treat it as text to identify, not a normal chat reaction.

What 䯵 means

䯵 names a young child’s hair or hairstyle.

The Yupian, an early Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543, already gives 䯵 a child-related gloss.

Later works differ in detail: the Kangxi Dictionary, a Chinese reference work, describes hair left after shaving, while Chinese and Japanese dictionary entries also give children’s hair or a young child’s hairstyle.

When someone sends 䯵 alone, it can look like an unknown character, a typo, or a font problem.
