What 䳒 means
Same word as 鳶: the kite, a hawk-like raptor.
It is ancient: oracle-bone and bronze inscriptions record it — hunting scenes, and clan emblems.
䳒 appears on Qin bamboo slips; later Chinese usage stretched it to the kite on a string.
Rare variant for historical texts, not messaging.
Writing normally? Use 鳶 or 鸢.
