What 骔 means
It means a horse’s mane: the long hair along its neck.
An older related form, 騣, is also recorded for an ornament worn on a horse’s head.
Why was 骔 created?
It was proposed as a shorter spelling for an existing word.
The horse part 馬 in 騌 was simplified to 马 in 骔, reducing the number of strokes while keeping the horse-mane meaning. 騌 is recorded as a variant of 騣.
Is 骔 a standard Chinese character?
No—not as the ordinary modern spelling.
Use 鬃 in ordinary modern Chinese. 骔 appeared in second-round simplification proposals and may look unfamiliar or nonstandard; preserve it when quoting a source that uses it.
What does it mean when someone sends 骔?
By itself, it is just a written character.
The sender may be naming a horse’s mane, quoting an older spelling or asking about the character. The surrounding words decide; the character alone is not a reliable emotional cue.
