What 訮 means
It means contentious or argumentative speech.
言 marks speech, while 幵 supplies the sound. The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses the doubled form 訮訮 as contentious speech.
Is 訮 the same character as 詽? Yes. Chinese dictionaries list 詽 as an alternate written form of 訮. For this sense, Mandarin pinyin yán sounds roughly like “yen” with a rising tone; some lexicons also list xiān, roughly “shyen” with a high, level tone. These are dictionary readings, not a dependable cue for a message’s emotional tone.
Classical and lexicographic; use it in a character discussion or when quoting a classical text.
Alone in a message, it may look like an obscure character reference, not a clear signal of anger.

Questions people ask
1Why does 訮 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.
