What 賳 means
Chinese dictionaries gloss 賳 as goods or wealth; in Mandarin, it sounds roughly like “ts-eye” (Pinyin zāi). Its glosses include 貨 (“goods”) and 財 (“wealth or money”); these are lexical meanings, not a standard chat reaction.
How old is 賳?
Its documentary trail is old, but it does not give an invention date. As of 2024, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education character dictionary says 賳 is absent from 說文, an early Chinese character dictionary, and records it under its 貝 heading, citing 玉篇, another early character dictionary compiled in 543. The consulted entry comes from a later printed edition, and later lexicons repeat it.
How do I type 賳?

Rare and dictionary-shaped; it reads like a lexicon entry rather than ordinary chat.
