What 䳮 means
It describes a bird looking around in surprise.
The earliest recorded literary example is in Pan Yue’s Western Jin dynasty rhapsody 射雉赋, a long descriptive poem about pheasant hunting: a pheasant hears nothing, startles, and looks around (自䳮).
Can I read 䳮 as a reaction?
Only with context; the character alone is not a clear “wow.”
Its dictionary sense is specific to a bird’s startled look. If someone sends it alone, ask what they mean instead of assuming it is a standard surprise reaction.
A literary dictionary word tied to a bird’s startled look.
By itself, it does not clearly say “surprise!”

1Why does 䳮 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
