Chinese character 僼

765/20992

僼 is a rare Chinese character used in a spelling of 偓㒥, a name glossed as a legendary immortal. If it arrives alone in a message, ask what reference the sender means; the glyph does not establish a chat tone by itself. Its record belongs to an old Chinese dictionary tradition, though the edition cited for this entry is later.

What 僼 means

僼 is a rare Chinese character for a legendary immortal. Historical Chinese dictionaries record it in the name 偓㒥, also written 偓僼. Chinese references give the Mandarin Pinyin reading fēng, with a high, level tone. Japanese references also record hō, the conventional Japanese reading for a Chinese-origin character, pronounced with a long “o.”

Records for 僼 sit in an old Chinese dictionary tradition: 玉篇, a character dictionary compiled in 543, and later works including 廣韻, 集韻, 類篇, 四聲篇海, and 正字通. The edition cited for this entry is a later printed copy from China's Yuan dynasty; 543 dates the compilation of 玉篇, not that copy.

Someone sent me 僼. What does it mean?

Ask what reference the sender has in mind. The documented sense is a rare literary name, so an isolated character does not reveal whether it is quoted, used as a name, or intended another way.

Literary and archaic; in everyday conversation it reads as a reference that needs its surrounding text.

A bare 僼 does not explain the sender's intended reference; ask before treating it as a reaction.

Why does 僼 show as a square?

It is usually a font-coverage issue. A fallback font may show a box or a different design; the underlying text character remains 僼. A font that includes the character can display it.
