𤣥 (Kangxi radical 95, 玄+-1, 4 strokes, composition ⿳亠𠃋𠃋)

Naming taboo (避諱／避讳); the last dot in 玄 (xuán) was omitted to avoid using the same character in the Kangxi Emperor's personal name, which was 玄燁／玄烨.

This was also applied to derived characters; characters like 弦 and 畜 were also missing the last dot in 玄 (xuán) during this time.

This also produced 𤍞 (yè) < 燁／烨 (yè).

For pronunciation and definitions of 𤣥 – see 玄 (“deep; profound; mysterious; black; reddish black; etc.”). (This character is a variant form of 玄).
