cjk unified ideograph-2308a

Ironing character

12427/42720

𣂊 is an alternate written form of 熨, the Chinese character for ironing cloth; in Mandarin, the verb is read yùn. The old Chinese dictionary Shuowen describes the earlier 尉 as the act of smoothing silk with a heated tool. 熨 adds 火 (“fire”); in 𣂊, the bottom part 斗 points to the iron, and older sources also write 𣂊斗 for the tool.

Why does 𣂊 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.
