What 餪 means
It names a post-wedding food gift and family visit.
In the 餪女 wedding custom, the bride’s family sent food to the groom’s household three days after the marriage, making a meal of the visit. The medieval Chinese dictionaries Guangyun, Yupian, and Jiyun record the practice; Song-era accounts also write it as 暖女. Later lexicographic and regional records use 餪 for a celebratory banquet or related wedding visit, so the term extends beyond one fixed three-day procedure.
Why is 餪 also written 暖女?
Both spellings refer to the same wedding custom.
For 餪 vs 暖女, 餪 is the food-specific historical spelling, while 暖 is the ordinary character for “warm.” 餕女 is another recorded spelling of the custom.
Historical and specific: it reads like a wedding-custom term, not a casual reaction.
Use 餪女 or explain the context; 餪 alone does not mean “warm.”

1Why does 餪 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.
