Chinese character 迣

16868/20992

迣 is a classical Chinese character for blocking a passage or clearing a route; in another old use, it means going beyond a distance. Its reading depends on the phrase around it, and a font without its outline may show a box.

Text symbol

What 迣 means

It means blocking a passage, clearing a route, or going beyond.

The earliest surviving examples of 迣 are on slips from the Qin dynasty, narrow strips used for writing; later examples also appear in clerical script, an early Chinese writing style. In classical texts, it can mean stopping passage or clearing a route. A Han account uses it for villagers who hear drums, stop movement, and chase suspected thieves; court language uses the related barrier sense for clearing a ruler’s route.

A Han ceremonial line uses it differently: to go beyond or surpass ten thousand li, a traditional Chinese distance measure. In 遮迣 the sense is blocking or clearing a route; in 迣萬里, it is going beyond a distance.

迣 missing glyph: what happened?

A box usually means the font lacks a drawing for 迣.

Fonts can give 迣 different proportions or lack an outline for it. A blank box can appear even when the encoded character is correct; the font or fallback font simply cannot draw it.

迣 vs 迾: which form should I use?

Use the form printed in the text you are quoting.

The two spellings have a documented historical link, but they are not interchangeable in every source. When a dictionary lookup is unclear, check both entries and preserve the form printed in the passage.

The recorded uses are classical and literary.

Why does 迣 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
