Feather-base character

12782/20992

翭 names a feather’s base or new growth in an early Chinese dictionary; in Mandarin it is read hóu, roughly “hoh” with a rising pitch. It also appears in an old term for an arrow, so classical context matters more than guessing at a chat meaning.

Text symbol

What 翭 means

It names a feather base, or an old arrow term.

The 《说文解字》, an early Chinese dictionary, records 𦑚 as an older form and explains it as the base of a feather or newly growing feathers. In 《仪礼·既夕礼》, a passage about burial rites, 翭矢 names an arrow in an equipment list; the commentator Zheng Xuan links 翭 with 鍭 and explains it as an arrow shot at a target.

What does 翭 mean when someone sends it?

By itself, 翭 has no established chat meaning as of 2026.

If it arrives alone, ask for the surrounding sentence or source; its documented uses are lexical and historical.

Specialist and historical: it belongs in dictionaries and classical-text discussion, not casual chat.
