What 靕 means

靕 means morally upright conduct, untainted by crooked influence.

The Taiwan Ministry of Education's variant-character dictionary notes that 靕 is absent from Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, and cites a Ming printed edition of 四聲篇海, another character reference work.

A gloss in the Kangxi Dictionary, a later Chinese character dictionary, explains the parts symbolically: 正 is linked with truth and uprightness, 青 with the east, and untainted conduct with the path toward becoming an immortal.

Someone sent me 靕—what does it mean?

Ask what context they intend; the glyph alone is ambiguous.

Mandarin reads it zhēn in pinyin (first tone, high and level; zh is roughly a j sound articulated farther back). Japanese readings are しん and ただしい; the Korean Hanja reading is 진. These readings differ by language, while the moral sense stays near uprightness and purity. A bare message does not tell you whether the sender means a name, quotation, or dictionary gloss.

Rare in everyday writing; it fits dictionary history and Korean name-character references.

A lone 靕 does not tell you which person, source, or gloss the sender has in mind.

Why does 靕 look different across fonts?

Different Han fonts draw its strokes differently, so the outline can vary by typeface while the underlying character remains the same.
