What 裭 means
It means removing clothing or taking something away.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, defines the standard form 褫 as taking away clothing. In 褫, 衤 is the clothing element and 虒 gives a clue to the sound.
裭 is recorded as a variant of 褫. The meaning extends from removing clothing to depriving someone of rank, office, or rights.
How do I type 裭?
Use a Chinese input method that offers this variant.
Enter Pinyin chǐ (Chinese input with Latin letters) or the Zhuyin code ㄔˇ (Chinese sound symbols), then select 裭. The variant dictionary lists it under 褫, so an input method may expose it only through that standard form. If it is unavailable, use a character dictionary or custom entry. A blank box means the active Han font lacks this glyph.
Formal and literary; in an informal message it reads as a quotation or a discussion of the character itself.
If you need the standard form, use 褫; 裭 is a recorded variant, not automatically a typo.
