Text symbol

What 篏 means

It names fitting something into a hollow or gap.

Old Chinese dictionary 說文解字 glosses 嵌 in “New Additions” as a deep mountain. Later senses include cave, hollow, filling gaps, and setting metal into objects. 篏 is a variant with the bamboo component at the top.

Japanese dictionaries retain 篏 in rare forms: 篏める (“fit into”) and 篏硝子 (“fitted glass”).

Rare and bookish; it can signal a deliberate, source-preserving spelling.
