Other variants of 囧 include 崮 (king 囧), 莔 (queen 囧), 商 (囧 with a hat), 囧興 (turtle) and 卣 (''[[Bomberman]]''). The character 槑 (U+69D1), a variant of 梅 {{gloss|plum}}, is used to represent a double of 呆 {{gloss|dull}} or further magnitude of dullness. In Chinese, normally full characters (as opposed to the stylistic use of 槑) might be [[Reduplication#Chinese|duplicated]] to express emphasis.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}
