Han Character 𣦼

14781/42720

𣦼 is an old Chinese character, read in Mandarin as cán and listed as a variant of 𣦻. The early dictionary Shuowen Jiezi links its shape to a hand and bone and glosses it “to damage or pierce through.” A form catalogued under it appears on the 麥方尊, a bronze vessel from the early Western Zhou. It is text, not an emoji; alone, it needs context.

Why does 𣦼 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.
