As of 2026, older Japanese encodings JIS X 0213 and Shift_JIS-2004 do not encode it. Fonts on computers, phones, and browsers may draw this rare glyph with different outlines; a changed shape alone does not mean the underlying character changed.
What does 榬 mean?
It names a silk-winding tool or a rack for bells.
Han-era entries in Fangyan, an old Chinese book that records regional words, use 榬 for a silk-thread winding tool in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and the Yellow–Ji area. A separate historical sense is a frame for bells and stone chimes used in court music. A 2024 Taiwan Ministry of Education dictionary notes that Shuowen, an early Chinese character dictionary, does not list 榬. A Japanese kanji reference records both object senses, and dictionaries also give 榬 as a rare Chinese surname.
