cjk unified ideograph-231ef

Variant of 昴

12784/42720

𣇯 is a written variant of 昴, the Chinese name for the Pleiades and their lunar mansion, one of 28 sky divisions used to track the Moon; the same system also appears in Korean and Japanese astronomy. Its lower part reworks an older seal script (a formal style used on seals) into two facing, door-like shapes. A printed Yuan-dynasty edition of the character dictionary Sìshēng Piānhǎi records it.

Why does 𣇯 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.
