Chinese character 岏

3728/20992

岏 describes a high, sharply pointed rise, chiefly in the compound 巑岏. The phrase 盤岸巑岏 is traditionally linked to Song Yu’s 高唐賦, a classical Chinese poem. A lone 岏 in chat is best read as a written character or literary reference, not a standard reaction.

Text symbol

What 岏 means

It describes a high, sharply pointed rise, chiefly in 巑岏. In Mandarin, the pronunciation is roughly “wahn” in one syllable with a rising tone; wán is the romanized spelling. Later dictionaries also use 巑岏 for towering forms.

When a message contains only 岏, read it as a written character or literary reference, not a standard emoji reaction. Its visible design can vary by font: Unicode identifies the character, while the font draws its glyph.

Why does 岏 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.
