Han character 韷

18936/20992

韷 is a rare literary word for disruptive noise. It appears mainly in dictionaries and older writing. If it displays as a box, the font may lack its glyph.

Text symbol

What 韷 means

It describes clamorous, troubling noise. Mandarin dictionaries give the pinyin reading lè: a short vowel formed toward the back of the mouth, with falling pitch.

The earliest known dictionary entry is from 997 in the Liao-dynasty 龍龕手鑑, a Buddhist reference book for difficult scriptures. Later dictionaries keep the same gloss; the entry dates a witness, not the character’s creation.

Japanese dictionaries list the reading かまびすしい (clamorous or noisy), plus らく and りゃく. The written form combines 音 and 出.

Rare and literary; use it when you mean clamorous noise, not as casual shorthand.

Why does 韷 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.
