What 跍 means
It means “to squat” or “crouch.”
The Guangyun, a Chinese dictionary that grouped characters by rhyme, was completed around 1008 during the Song period; it glosses 跍 as 蹲貌, “the posture of squatting.”
The foot radical points to the action, while 古 is the sound component.
What does 跍 mean in a message?
Without dialect clues, read it as “squat.”
Standard written Chinese normally uses 蹲 for that action, so 跍 marks regional or dialect writing. In Hakka, 跍等 is a dialect expression for squatting; its reading can differ among Hakka varieties.
Southwest Mandarin and Xiang extend the verb to staying in a place; Southern Min usage can give it the figurative sense “surrender” or “give up.”
