What 訤 means
It refers to speech judged discourteous or ill-mannered.
Taiwan's Ministry of Education character dictionary lists 誵 as the standard form and 訤 as its variant. It traces the gloss to Jiyun, a Chinese character dictionary from the Song dynasty. The earliest indexed example appears in a Song work; other indexed examples run from Song through Qing texts.
Is 訤 the same as 誵?
Dictionaries list 訤 as a variant spelling of 誵.
The Ministry dictionary gives 誵 the same discourteous-speech gloss. Other historical dictionary entries connect 訤 with 詉 and 拏 under additional readings; some linked senses involve clamorous speech or pulling and joining. These are lexical connections, not permission to replace one glyph with another in any text.
How do I type 訤?
Enter xiáo in a Mandarin input method, or use Cangjie YRKK.
For pinyin input, choose 訤 from the candidates returned for xiáo. Cangjie uses YRKK. If your input method omits it, look up 誵 in a character dictionary and confirm the spelling used by your source.
The Unicode Standard separates a Han character's identity from its typeface form. A locale-specific font may draw 訤 differently, but a changed outline alone does not make it a different character.
A dictionary-register character; give a short gloss when using it with casual readers.
Without context, its specific historical sense may be opaque.

Fonts can change its visible form, and locale-specific typefaces may draw a Han character differently. A changed outline does not by itself mean a different character.
