What 祽 means
It names a monthly sacrificial rite in classical Chinese.
The Yupian, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 543, glosses 祽 as 月祭名, “name of a monthly sacrifice.” Later dictionaries such as Guangyun and Jiyun preserve that ritual sense. Its right side 卒 links 祽 to a Chinese phonetic series that includes 晬 and 綷; this is a sound-and-formation relationship, not shared meaning.
How do you type 祽?
For typing, use Mandarin pinyin zui4 or Cangjie IFYOJ.
In a Chinese input method set to Mandarin pinyin, enter zui4; the 4 marks the fourth tone. Then select 祽 from the candidates. Cangjie input uses the component code IFYOJ. A CJK font draws the character, so stroke details can vary across fonts without changing its identity.
Classical and ceremonial; it belongs in a historical or ritual context, not casual chat.
Don't use it as a generic blessing: its recorded sense is a monthly sacrificial rite.
