鞾

cjk unified ideograph-97be

Boot character

18879/20992

鞾 means “boots” and is a historical variant of 靴, the usual written form in modern Chinese. An early dictionary gloss connects it with 鞮, an older term for leather footwear; later lexicons link boots to riding clothes in the ancient state of Zhao. A box in place of 鞾 usually means the font lacks its glyph.

What 鞾 means

It means “boots” and is a variant of 靴.

The Shuowen, an early Chinese character dictionary, calls 鞾 a kind of 鞮, an older word for leather footwear. It explains the character as 革 (“leather”) plus 華 as a sound clue.

Later lexicons use 靴 as the standard form and preserve a tradition linking boots to northern-style riding clothes adopted under King Wuling, ruler of the ancient state of Zhao.

Why does 鞾 show as a box?

That square usually means your font or app cannot display 鞾. It is a fallback for a missing glyph, not part of the character; a font with CJK coverage should display it.
