What 獧 means
It means swift movement or serves as a variant of 狷.
The Han-era Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, records 獧 for rapid leaping and urgency. Its left-hand 犭 is a meaning component, while the rest supplies a sound clue.
In the Mencius tradition, 獧 can stand for 狷: a person who acts quickly but has principles they will not abandon. The surrounding passage tells you which sense is intended.
Why is 獧 linked with 狷?
Variant dictionaries link 獧 to 狷.
Japanese dictionaries give senses such as straightforward or rash, while Korean references emphasize stubbornness. Chinese sources preserve both the quick-motion gloss and the temperament sense.
How do I type or display 獧?
Enter its Mandarin reading, then check the selected character.
Pinyin is the roman-letter system used to enter Mandarin readings: type juàn, or juan4 without the tone mark, in a pinyin input method and select 獧. Cangjie, a shape-based Chinese input method, lists KHWLV; availability depends on the installed layout.
A box in place of 獧 can mean the active font lacks its outline. A font that covers this Chinese character can display it; the missing outline does not change the source text.
Literary and lexicographic; outside a quoted or historical passage, this rare form needs context.
If you replace it with 狷, you may erase the spelling chosen by the source.
