Han character 澩

Use Unicode hex input if the Chinese keyboard hides it.

Chinese input methods may filter uncommon candidates, so searching by pronunciation may not show it. Unicode hex input means entering a character's hexadecimal value in a supporting desktop editor: enter 6FA9. The shortcut depends on the operating system and editor.

What does 澩 mean?

It names a mountain marsh or stream that dries in winter.

The early Chinese dictionary 《說文解字》 describes a mountain marsh or stream with water in summer but none in winter. It analyzes 澩 as 水, the character meaning water, beside a shortened 學 used to suggest the sound.

Later dictionaries also record a spring that dries up and a tributary of the Wei River. Literary usage extends to crashing-wave sounds and to things interlacing or competing. In Hokkien, a Southern Min variety spoken around Xiamen and Zhangzhou, it can describe the unpleasant wet texture of underripe or waterlogged food.

Why does 澩 show as a box?

Your font may not contain this character's glyph.

Unicode identifies 澩 even when a font cannot draw it, so an unsupported glyph appears as a box. Switching to a font with Han-character coverage usually fixes the display. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts may draw shared Han characters with different local conventions; that changes the style, not the character.
