What 詴 means
It means “to call a person” or “a calling sound.” 詴 is pronounced wēi in Mandarin, roughly like “way” with a high, level tone.
The Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary, glosses 詴 as “to call a person”; the Jiyun, another dictionary, also records “a calling sound” and “to call.” These dictionary entries do not give a date for when this exact written form first appeared.
A specialized dictionary character with a calling-related sense.

Questions people ask
2Why can 詴 look different across fonts?
詴 is a text character drawn by the active font, so its strokes can vary between fonts. A blank box can mean the font lacks a glyph for it.
Does 詴 mean “call me”?
Not necessarily. Its dictionary senses are “to call a person” and “a calling sound”; the character alone does not specify who should call whom.
