cjk unified ideograph-231b2

Chinese Character for Sunlight

12723/42720

𣆲 means “sunlight”; Taiwan’s Ministry of Education gives its Mandarin reading as qīn (2024). A surviving printed edition of the dictionary Yupian (玉篇), first compiled around 543 and substantially revised in 1013, records that gloss; the 1716 Kangxi Dictionary repeats it. The earlier Han dynasty dictionary Shuowen Jiezi (說文解字) does not list it.

Why does 𣆲 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.
