Chinese character 訡

訡 is a written variant of 吟, a Chinese character for chanting or vocalizing. In Mandarin, both sound roughly like “yeen” with a rising tone; pinyin, the sound-spelling system for Mandarin, writes it yín. Dictionaries also give senses for poetic recitation, animal calls and a meaning linked to the qin, a Chinese zither.

What 訡 means

It is a Chinese written variant of 吟. 吟 can mean to chant or recite, or to moan or sigh.

The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary, records an alternate graph for 吟 with 言 (“speech”) where 吟 has 口 (“mouth”); Chinese dictionaries identify that graph as 訡.

Historical and dictionary-oriented; it preserves an alternate written form of 吟.
