Pronounced kui (falling tone) according to the Qieyun, Jiyun, Yunhui, and Zhengyun dictionaries. "Shuowen Jiezi" explains it as a hairpin made of bone used to tie hair, commonly written as "会". In the "Book of Odes (Shijing), Part衛風 (Wei Feng)", there is the line "会弁如星" (huì biàn rú xīng), which "Mao Zhuan" annotates as: "Pi Bian (皮弁) is used to tie hair." "Jingdian Shiwen" mentions that in this context, "会" is written as "䯤" in "Shuowen Jiezi". "Zhou Li, Xiaguan, Bianshi" records that the Heavenly Son's Pi Bian (皮弁) is tied with colorful silk ribbons. "Zheng Xuan Zhu" states that older versions write it as "䯤", meaning to tie hair with colorful silk ribbons. It is also commonly written as "桧". "Yili, Shisangli" records: Tie the hair with a silk ribbon, then insert a hairpin. "Zheng Xuan Zhu" says: "桧" is pronounced the same as "䯤", only the writing is different. People from the Pei Kingdom call a coiled hairstyle "䯤". "Guangyun" records that "䯤" and "鬠" are the same character.
