Han character 䶊

6539/6592

䶊 is a historical written variant of 衄, the Chinese word for a nosebleed. In compounds, that word can also mean defeat or setback. If 䶊 arrives alone, check the surrounding text: the character identifies a spelling variant but does not tell you why it was sent.

Text symbol

What 䶊 means

It is a variant spelling of 衄, the Chinese word for a nosebleed.

The base form 衄 is defined as nosebleed in an Eastern Han dictionary of Chinese characters. A printed Yuan-dynasty character dictionary records 䶊 as a variant of 衄.

Why can 衄 mean defeat?

It also has an extended sense of being checked or defeated.

In compounds such as 敗衄, 衄 describes a defeat or setback; older commentary also explains 挫衄 through retreat. This is a meaning of the word written with 衄, not an extra emotional reading carried by 䶊 alone.

What does 䶊 mean when someone sends it?

Treat it as a written variant; the surrounding text supplies the reading.

By itself, it identifies a form of the word but not whether the writer means a nosebleed or a setback. Ask which passage or compound it came from before reading more into it.

Dictionary or historical variant; on its own, 䶊 gives little context for why it appears.

Use 衄 for the standard spelling; keep 䶊 when preserving the exact variant.
