What 灍 means
灍 is an alternate form of 㵐, a character recorded in place names. A Chinese dictionary compiled in 543, 玉篇, records 㵐 with a country-name meaning.
The Northern Wei waterway book 水經注 and the later dictionary 廣韻 record a river sense. 水經注 places the river 㵐水 near Yiyang: it rises south of Tongbai Mountain and flows southeast past 㵐西 to the 溠 River.
A local report from 2022 still writes the river's name as 㵐水 in Suizhou. The Taiwan Ministry of Education's variant dictionary identifies 灍 as an alternate form of 㵐, the standard spelling to look up.
How do I type 灍?
Use a Unicode character map or its Cangjie input sequence. Cangjie is a Chinese character input method: enter 水日弓人. A Hong Kong supplementary-character reference from 2004 gives that sequence for 灍.
If your input method does not return 灍, search for 㵐, the standard dictionary form. A Unicode character map can also find 灍 by its character or U704D.
A Japanese character reference describes 灍's display as environment-dependent as of 2026; a box may mean the current font or rendering system cannot draw it.
Read 灍 in lexical, historical, or local-name contexts; it functions as a place-name character.
