Han character 駊

In 駊騀, 駊 names a horse's head toss or uneven movement.

The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, explains 駊騀 as horse movement and analyzes 駊 as 馬 (“horse”) plus 皮, a component used to suggest pronunciation.

Later dictionary glosses broaden 駊騀 from head-shaking, a poor gait, or ordinary walking to lofty or uneven hills, then to an emotionally stirred state. The phrase around it supplies the sense; 駊 alone does not choose among them.

what does 駊騀 mean

Its sense shifts with what the phrase describes. With a horse, 駊騀 can mean head-shaking, a poor gait, or bounding. Yang Xiong uses it for lofty, uneven hills in the classical text 甘泉賦; Han Wò uses it for an emotionally stirred state in 多情.

how to type 駊

In Microsoft Word, enter 99CA and press Alt+X.

As of 2026, Word for Windows converts that hexadecimal Unicode value to 駊; select the four characters first if they follow other text. This shortcut is specific to Word.

A missing-glyph box usually means the selected font lacks 駊. A 2024 entry in Taiwan's CNS 11643 character database reports that Windows 10 and later default fonts include it; other apps and fonts may still differ.
