Hair bun character

6160/6592

䰏 is a rare Chinese character for a small tied hair bun, or topknot. The older form 𩯰 appears in the Shuowen Jiezi, an Eastern Han dictionary compiled around 25–220 CE; later variant records list 䰏 under it. In a message, add a gloss so readers understand the hairstyle sense.

Text symbol

What 䰏 means

It names a small tied hairstyle, sometimes left uncovered.

The older form 𩯰 appears in the Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese dictionary, with a gloss meaning “a small amount of tied hair.” A later variant record lists 䰏 under 𩯰, so their connection is textual, not just visual.

Later rhyme and variant dictionaries add a woman's small bun and a bun left exposed rather than covered by a headcloth. The shared 髟 component is associated with hair-related character forms; the dictionary glosses establish 䰏's hairstyle meaning.

Rare classical and dictionary register: it names a hairstyle, not an everyday term.

As of 2026, no established chat-reaction meaning is documented; add a gloss if a message needs to be understood.

Does 䰏 always mean an uncovered bun?

No. An earlier gloss describes a small amount of tied hair; one later description specifies a bun left uncovered, so that detail is not the whole meaning.

why does 䰏 look different

As of 2026, fonts on different systems can draw 䰏 differently; its encoded identity stays the same.
