CJK Unified Ideograph-8A23

訣 gets its meaning from its compound: farewell, secret method, or mnemonic. Read the whole word around it, not the character alone. It is a typed character, not emoji.

Text symbol

What 訣 means

The compound tells you which sense applies. Farewell, method, and memorized formula are the three jobs to expect. Its 2024 Taiwan dictionary entry places 訣 outside the original 說文, an early Chinese character dictionary, in that work's new additions, with older farewell use shown in 史記, an early Chinese history.

Japanese keeps both tracks in 訣別, 永訣, 秘訣, and 要訣. Korean scholarship describes early Goryeo 口訣 as borrowed-character marks for reading Classical Chinese, later shifting from interpretation toward reading aloud.

Why does 訣 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.
