Han character 遳

17012/20992

遳 is a Chinese character used in classical writing for frailty or brittleness, and in one dialect sense for short stature. It is not a fixed chat reaction, so a message with 遳 alone needs context. Nearby words can shift its reading toward appearance or slow movement.

Text symbol

What 遳 means

The words around it decide the sense. In the classical phrase 遳脃, it describes a frail or brittle condition; in 貌遳陋, it occurs in a description of a person’s appearance. The phrase 遳脃 appears in 《魏都賦》, a classical poem by Zuo Si about the Wei capital.

The Kangxi Dictionary, an old Chinese dictionary, also connects 遳 with slow movement and an impatient manner. A Chinese dialect reference records it for short stature and gives 矬 as the usual written form in that dialect.

Literary in classical writing and dialectal in one documented use; surrounding Chinese text makes the intended sense clear.

As of 2026-09-12, 遳 has no established modern chat reading; sent alone, it may look like a typo.
