What 跜 means
The written examples use it inside a compound. In the Eastern Han, Li You’s formal poem 辟雍賦 uses 躨跜 with cavalry; Wang Yanshou’s palace-description rhapsody 魯靈光殿賦 applies it to a dragon’s moving jaw. A Tang dictionary later cites 躨跜 for a crouching tiger.
Literary Chinese; the documented examples use 跜 in 躨跜, a natural fit for classical writing or character study.
Alone in a message, 跜 gives too little context to read as a reaction; ask what the sender means.
