What 朹 means
It means hawthorn, or an old form of 簋.
Write 朹子 and read qiú for the hawthorn plant, recorded as 檕梅. Read guǐ only when the text is already about 簋 and its ancient forms. As of 2026-09-08, no securely dated first inscription for this exact shape was established. Copy it from the palette above if your input method lacks it.
Is 朹 the same as 簋?
Only as an old written variant.
Use 簋 for the vessel in normal writing; keep 朹 for the hawthorn name or when quoting a variant list that links it with 㔳 and 匭. The link is textual, not a lookalike warning.
Specialist and historical: botanical, classical-text, or character-study use.
Alone, it is ambiguous.

1Why does 朹 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.
