Text symbol

What 䶡 means

A biting sound, or a form of 齰 meaning “bite” or “gnaw.” The dictionaries distinguish the senses.

A Ming-dynasty print of 《四聲篇海》, a Chinese character dictionary compiled in 1208, records 䶡. The older Chinese dictionary 《說文解字》 records 齰 for “bite” but does not record 䶡; the later 《正字通》 calls 䶡 a nonstandard form of 齰. A classical example uses 齰 for biting the tongue.

In chat, read 䶡 through its dictionary sense; no fixed reaction convention is documented as of 9 October 2026.

As of 9 October 2026, fonts, browsers, or devices may display 䶡 differently or not at all; this does not change its character identity.

Why does 䶡 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
