Assuming you are talking about Japanese, since you have èµ¤ã?¡ã‚ƒã‚“ there…

å°?äºº means little person or dwarf. The word for child in Japanese is å?ä¾›ã€€(ã?“ã?©ã‚‚ã€€kodomo)

Also, å?°è¨¶ is never used in Japanese, fwiw. Maybe in Chinese.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Spelling child as å°?äºº seems quite possible as it appears in dictionaries and, particularly in Kyoto, in many public signs. The å?ä¾› spelling does seem to be far more popular in general.

å?°è¨¶ seems indeed to not be used in Japanese. Hmmm… my Kanji Flip iPhone app lied.
