What 𧇻 means
The dictionary gloss is “white tiger.”
The Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi was compiled around 100 CE and presented to a Han emperor in 121 CE. Its entry for 䖑 gives the meaning “white tiger.”
A later dictionary, Yupian, records 𧇻 as a popular written form of that same word. Mandarin dictionaries give 𧇻 the reading mì, approximately “mee” with a falling tone.
Is 𧇻 a variant of 䖑?

Questions people ask
1Why does 𧇻 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
