Character for a Faint Sound

Text symbol

What 韽 means

It describes a faint, weak sound.

The classical Chinese ritual text 《周禮》 uses 韽 in the phrase 微聲韽 for a faint musical tone. The character dictionary 《說文解字》 analyzes it as 音 (“sound”) plus 酓, which gives a clue to its pronunciation.

Literary and lexicographic; in casual messages, using it signals deliberate rare-character use.

For ordinary “quiet,” 韽 can look like a typo rather than a word choice.

Why does 韽 show as a box?

A box means the active font lacks a glyph for 韽. A CJK font with coverage may display it; the missing glyph does not change the character’s identity.
