Talk:甭

Relation between 甭 and 甮
Ministry of Education of ROC listed 甮 as a variant of 甭 per Zhong Hua Zi Hai (中华字海). In the dict, it says “甮 同‘甭’. 字见《简明吴方言词典》. ” (甮, same as “甭”. The character is seen in Brief Wu Dialect Dictionary.)

In 《简明吴方言词典》, it says “甮 绍兴[fuŋ51] 副词. 勿用二字的合音. 不用. 嘦心宽，～屋宽. （《越谚》） 也作⿰勿用. (甮 Shaoxing[fuŋ51] Adverb. The phonetic fusion of the two characters 勿用. Needn't. As long as the heart is wide, the house needn't to be wide. (Yue Yan) Also be as ⿰勿用.) 甭 isn't mentioned.

So the claim of 甮 as a variant of 甭 is yet to be established. Best reguards. Dokurrat (talk) 03:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for investigating this. I think it's good evidence against the claim made by the Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
