軂

Chinese character 軂

In Mandarin, 軂 is read lào, roughly “laow” rhyming with “now” with a falling tone, and its clearest dictionary use is in 軂軇, “long-bodied.” Taiwanese Hokkien also writes the tall-person word as 躼, with 軂 listed as a variant. Sent alone, treat it as a character sample or lookup prompt and ask for context.

What 軂 means

The compound 軂軇 describes someone as long-bodied.

《說文》, an early Chinese dictionary of characters, does not record 軂 in its surviving text. The later Song-period 《集韻》, a Chinese dictionary arranged by rhyme, records 軂軇 with the gloss “long-bodied.”

A Taiwanese Minnan (Hokkien) dictionary writes the word for a tall person as 躼 and lists 軂 as an alternate form.

Why is 軂 a box?

If 軂 appears as a square or blank in your current font or app, that setup may lack a supporting glyph. Switch to a CJK font that includes it or an app with CJK glyph support.
