What 翉 means
It means “to fly up”; another dictionary gloss is “to run.”
Medieval rhyme dictionaries—reference books organized by sound and rhyme—record these motion senses: Jiyun gives “a bird flying upward”; Sisheng Pianhai gives “to run.”
The earlier Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary, does not list 翉.
Is 翉 the same character as 翊?
No: 翉 combines 本 and 羽; 翊 combines 立 and 羽.
They share 羽 as a written component, but they are distinct characters with different meanings.
What if someone sends 翉 alone?
As of 2026-09-11, 翉 has no established chat reading.
Ask the sender what they intended; dictionary glosses do not settle the meaning of an individual message.
When a system uses font fallback, 翉 may appear with different strokes; the underlying character remains the same.

1Why does 翉 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.
