What 椓 means
It means striking; its darker senses are castration and eunuch.
《尚書·呂刑》 uses it for castration; 《詩經》 uses it for pounding; 《左傳》 records a sense of attacking someone through accusations.
As of 2026-09-10, the consulted evidence begins with oracle-bone 豖, not the modern 椓 shape. Later dictionaries analyze 椓 as 木 plus 豖; 斀 and 劅 are related written forms.
Classical, legal-literary, and grim; use it for textual precision, not casual banter.
Alone, it may read as castration or an opaque insult.

1Why does 椓 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.
