cjk unified ideograph-21ff2

Han character 𡿲

8179/42720

𡿲 is a Small Seal script form—an old Chinese writing style—of 監, the Chinese character for inspecting or supervising. Forms of 監 appear on inscribed bones and shells around 1250–1000 BCE, then on bronzes in Western Zhou China around 1000 BCE. One explanation depicts a person peering into a basin; 監 meant “mirror” before “inspect” and “supervise.” Traditional Chinese writes 監; simplified uses 监.

Why does 𡿲 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
