What 鼼 means
It names a nose shape.
Chinese dictionaries gloss 鼼 as 鼻折 (“bent nose”) or 仰鼻 (“upturned nose”).
As of 2026, the earliest recorded entry is in Yùpiān, an old Chinese character dictionary. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education lists 𪖐 as standard and 鼼, 𪖑, and 𪖘 as variants in the 鼻 family; it says 𪖐 is absent from Shuowen, an older dictionary.
