Nüshu character Tsoe42

Text symbol

What 𛆏 means

It is read as tsoe42 in Nüshu.

Nüshu writes Jiangyong's local Chinese dialect. One character can stand for words pronounced alike, so use the surrounding text to tell which meaning 𛆏 carries.

It belongs to women's writing

Women in Jiangyong, many unable to write Chinese characters, used Nüshu for poems, songs, women's letters, and good-wish booklets given brides three days after marriage. The earliest known artifact is a coin from China's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a rebel state (1851–1864), bearing a sisterhood message. China listed Nüshu as documentary heritage in 2002 and intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

Why does 𛆏 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.
