What 誑 means
It means deception, not a neutral mistake. 言 marks speech; 狂 supplies the sound. Classical use is kuáng, to deceive, lie, or delude a person, so it names misleading words rather than an honest error.
The earliest defensible record here is its Shuowen Jiezi entry. The core stayed stable in Chinese; Japanese adds the native reading taburakasu in 誑かす, to beguile or deceive. Older forms such as 𧪴 are recorded too.
Accusatory: it labels words or conduct as deceptive.
Use it carefully; it accuses someone of deception.

Questions people ask
1Why does 誑 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.
