What 徸 means
It is a rare variant tied to footsteps and walking.
An Eastern Han Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, records 㣫 with a gloss about one footprint following another. Its analysis treats 彳 as the walking-related part and 重 as the sound-bearing part.
Later dictionaries list 徸 as a variant connected with 踵, a character for heel. The wider 踵 entry also includes senses such as following, pursuing, arriving, and inheriting; they should not all be assigned to 徸 on its own.
In ordinary messages, 徸 reads as a rare dictionary or variant form; retain it when the exact source spelling matters.
It can be mistaken for 踵, but the left component differs.

Questions people ask
1Why does 徸 show as a box?
A box usually means the chosen font lacks this rare glyph. As of 2026, CJK fonts can use regional Han-character styles, while missing coverage can make the character fall back to a box without changing its identity. Try a font with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean coverage.
