Text symbol

What 仾 means

仾 is a written variant of 低 with the same meaning.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionary (2024) records 仾 in medieval works: the lexicons 龍龕手鑑 and 廣韻, Bai Juyi’s poem 《晏起》, and the Dunhuang text 《韓朋賦》. It describes the form as an 行草 transformation—the cursive and semi-cursive calligraphic style—not a new word.

What does it mean if someone sends 仾?

If someone sends 仾 in an ordinary message, read it as 低.

In a historical quotation, keep 仾. If 仾 appears as a square, your font or text renderer lacks its glyph.

Marked historical form; use 低 in ordinary writing.

Why does 仾 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.
