What 俢 means
Read 俢 as 修, pronounced xiū. It is the same word, covering repair, order, study and conduct, cultivation, and adornment, depending on the expression. Copy it from the palette above when you need this exact rare glyph.
An exact first appearance is not securely established in the sources checked on 2026-09-08. The documented lineage runs through 修 and its Shuowen-tradition predecessor form; later lexicographic records describe 俢 as an old abbreviated form. So 俢 is a reduced historical spelling, not a separately invented sign, and its historically connected forms are standard 修 and related variant 脩.
Is 俢 a typo for 修?
No — treat it as a deliberate variant. If you received 俢 in a name, quotation, dictionary entry, or old text, read it as xiū and do not “correct” it to 修. In your own ordinary writing, though, use 修 unless someone asked for the old glyph.
Marked and specialist: in ordinary text 俢 looks like a deliberate historical variant.
If you mean the standard word, use 修.
Drift: As of 2026-09-08, the checked evidence shows no separate modern slang meaning; 俢 remains a rare variant of 修.

Questions people ask
2Is 俢 a real hanzi or kanji?
Yes. It is an encoded rare variant, a 异体字 of 修, not a newly invented symbol.
Why does 俢 show as a box or look different?
That is a font gap. It has no emoji artwork; install or switch to a full CJK font, or copy it from the palette above.
