Chinese character 逪

It means crossing or interlacing; later lexicons also give disorder. The old pair 䢒逪 is explained through 交錯, meaning things crossing one another; later dictionaries also record 亂, or disorder. An inscriptional phrase 逪衡 is glossed as a decorated carriage crossbar, linking the character to crossed or patterned workmanship.

The earliest proposed candidate is a bronze graph from the late Western Zhou period, but its reading is disputed: a specialist study reads the graph in 番生簋, an inscribed bronze vessel, as the different character 軫, while character databases identify it as 逪.

逪, 錯, or 𨗀?

For the modern crossing sense, use 錯; 逪 is historical. Later lexicons record 錯 as the usual written form for this sense. The two are related, but they are not interchangeable when transcribing an old text.

A missing-glyph box means your font cannot display 逪; preserve the source form instead of guessing from the blank.
