A question about the kanji 畀?


When I searched for this kanji in japanese dictionaries i didn't found many
results just found it in the popular sites like [wiktionary page
](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%95%80#) and
[jisho.org](https://jisho.org/search/%E7%95%80) it means "to give" and there
is no example words containing it and also the same thing with the kanjis are
contianing it like 箅, 淠 and 痹 all of them have resulst but haven't word
examples

But the strange thing is there is only one kanji contain it 鼻 (nose) and it
has example words in all dictionaries and it's also a radical and a common
kanji so why is this kanji especially known in the dictionaries among all of
these kanjis which contain 畀?

And the funny is also the kanjis which contain 鼻 haven't example words in the
dictionaries like this 嚊.

So the question is why this kanji 畀 and its related kanjis haven't example
words? Are they not common or deleted or something like that ? And why
espically 鼻 (nose) among the kanjis related to 畀 has examples and is very
common ? I believe that there is someone have the answer.




Well, it looks like you're trying to break down _kanji_ into constituent
components and learn those components. I agree that this is the most logical
way to learn _kanji_.

However, as you've also noticed, you cannot find many definitions of one of
the breakdown components of「鼻」.

It pays to remember again that _kanji_ were originally created for the Chinese
language(s). The overwhelmingly common way of writing _nose_ in Chinese
is「{{kr:鼻}}」, and this is the character that Japanese adopted to also write
_nose_. However, this does not automatically mean that Japanese would adopt
the components of「鼻」as common characters.

Chinese characters number in the order of 10,000~100,000, so don't expect
Japanese to adopt all those characters. Japanese only adopts what is needed
from Chinese characters to make the characters work in the Japanese language!

Explicitly,

> 畀 箅 淠 痹 嚊 etc.

cannot be found in common dictionaries with example sentences because they are
simply not part of the _kanji_ that Japanese ordinarily uses.
