Chinese character 庹

4282/20992

庹 names the span between an adult’s outstretched hands, measuring by that span, or a surname; context tells you which. Regional Chinese varieties pronounce it differently, and a box can mean the font lacks the glyph.

Text symbol

What 庹 means

It names an arm-span measure, measuring by arms, or the surname. An adult stretches both arms to estimate length: 一庹 means one arm span. 庹庹看 repeats the character to mean “measure by arm span”; 庹姓 gives the surname 庹.

《字彙補》, a Chinese character dictionary, records the unit sense in its 1666 edition; 《康熙字典》 later cites it.

Specialized written use; context separates the measure, verb, and surname.

Do not assume every use is a surname.
