What 絭 means
絭 names a binding cord, especially one for clothing. The early Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi describes a cord tied around the arm to keep a loose sleeve from falling. Later classical lexicons also record binding or restraint, and a bow or crossbow string as other senses.
What does 絭 mean when someone sends it?
Ask for context; 絭 has distinct classical and Hakka uses. A one-character message does not show whether the sender means a clothing cord, a bowstring, or the regional charm sense.
In Taiwan Hakka, 絭 also names a child’s protective charm. The dictionary entry updated in 2025 records 戴絭 (wear the charm), 換絭 (renew it), and 脫絭 (take it off).
Classical or Taiwan Hakka vocabulary; opaque as a lone modern message.
A lone 絭 does not tell you which sense was intended; ask for context.

Questions people ask
1Why does 絭 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
