What 藳 means

Enter gao3, then select 藳.

In Mandarin Pinyin, gǎo sounds roughly like “kaow” with a low-rising tone. If 藳 is missing from the suggestions, try a rare-character or component search, or enter hexadecimal 85F3 with your system’s Unicode or character-map tool.

What does 藳 mean?

藳 is an older written variant in the 稿 family.

Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, records the related form 稾 for a grain stalk. The same word family also refers to draft writing or a manuscript; 稿 is the usual form in ordinary modern Chinese. 藳 is useful when matching a historical text or a source that uses this spelling.

A rare written variant; its display depends on the reader’s font.

For an ordinary modern draft, use 稿; 藳 can look historical or source-specific.

Why does 藳 appear as a box?

A box means the font or app cannot draw this text character. Try a font with broader CJK coverage; it is a font-support issue, not a different character.
