What 曪 means
曪 is glossed as a dim or lightless sun.
The Song-dynasty rhyme dictionary Jiyun pairs 曪 with 𣋟 as 𣋟曪 and glosses the pair as a sun without light. Jiyun’s compilation began in 1037. This is the clearest supported meaning of the character.
Why do dictionaries give opposite glosses for 曪?
The no-light gloss has stronger support here.
Jiyun and the Kangxi Dictionary, an imperial-era reference, give the no-light gloss. Hanyu Da Zidian, a modern Chinese character dictionary, also prints 日色光明 (“bright sunlight”) while preserving Kangxi’s opposing gloss on the same page. This is a dictionary conflict; it does not establish a shift by period or region.
Can I use 曪 as a message?
Treat a bare 曪 as a word, not a mood cue.
As of 2026, 曪 has no established chat meaning. If someone sends it alone, treat it as an obscure word or quotation and ask what source or reading they intend.
Rare dictionary and historical-text register.
A bare 曪 is not a reliable mood signal; ask what source or reading the sender intends.

Questions people ask
1Why does 曪 show as a box?
A box is a font-support problem, not a second meaning. A font without 曪 may show a missing-glyph box; a fallback font can give the character a different regional shape. The encoded character remains the same.
