What 鬍 means
Traditional Chinese uses 鬍 for beard; Simplified Chinese uses 胡.
胡 first referred to the loose flesh beneath an animal’s jaw, then to facial hair. A bronze inscription from China’s late Warring States period already uses 胡. Later, adding 髟 (the hair component) formed 鬍 as a more specific form for beard.
Regional Chinese fonts can draw some strokes differently; the encoded character remains 鬍.
A Traditional Chinese spelling for beard, with no special emotional tone.
