CJK Unified Ideograph-6Eb2

溲 means urine or to urinate; in older Chinese it can also cover stool. It doubles as soak, mix with water, or wash, so the neighboring word decides. It is rare and bookish in modern Mandarin.

Text symbol

What 溲 means

It means urine or urinate; older texts also include stool.

No inventor is known. The Han-era dictionary record gives a water sense — soak, mix, wash — alongside early excretory use, and later dictionaries keep both branches. As of 2026 Japanese references still list urine and soaking, outside the everyday Jōyō set.

Bookish and technical; a 2021 language study calls the waste sense literary — use 尿 or 小便 in ordinary Mandarin.

溲 vs 尿: 尿 is everyday urine; 溺 can also mean drowning.

Why does 溲 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.
