Han Character 泌

7885/20992

泌 is a Chinese character for liquid flowing, seeping, or being secreted. It appears in 分泌 (“secretion” or “to secrete”) in Chinese and in Japanese words about oozing or secretion. In Mandarin, its reading can change with the word, so one character alone may not settle its pronunciation.

Text symbol

What 泌 means

It describes liquid moving out by seepage or secretion.

The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, records a small-seal form—an old style of Chinese writing—and explains 泌 as a narrow, fast-flowing stream or spring. The left-side 氵 is the water component; 必 is a sound component that hints at pronunciation.

In a word, 泌 points to liquid flow or release, especially secretion.

A lone 泌 may not reveal its intended reading or sense; use the surrounding word.

Why does 泌 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.
