What 譞 means
Read it as intelligence or wisdom, with a secondary “talkative” sense.
譞 was made for a lexical job: writing a word for intelligence or cleverness. Its 言 side marks the speech field, while 圜/瞏 supplies the sound. The earliest evidence located for this exact graph is its entry in the Shuowen Jiezi, a Han dictionary published around 100 CE. As of 2026, no one-person inventor is documented; the trail is inherited lexicographic development.
Across the tradition, the glosses split between “clever” or “wise” and “talkative.” Taiwan’s Ministry of Education links the latter reading to 讂 and records 𧭴 as a variant. Japanese references preserve readings such as けん and さかしい, but that is a reference tradition, not proof of everyday use.
Literary and dictionary-coded; in ordinary chat, treat it as an obscure character rather than a shared reaction.
A bare message leaves “wise” versus “talkative” unresolved; add the intended gloss.

1Why does 譞 show as a box?
It is a font-support problem. A missing CJK glyph can appear as a tofu box, blank space, or fallback mark; try a font with broader CJK coverage.
