Han Character 𧎼

29629/42720

𧎼 is an uncommon written form equated with 珧 (Mandarin yáo), linked to shell material used for ornament and 江珧, a clam-like shellfish prized for the muscle that closes its shell. The Han-era dictionary Shuowen Jiezi records 珧; the Kangxi dictionary says earlier works lack 𧎼 and calls it a later corruption, while the 2024 Taiwan Ministry of Education character-variant dictionary treats 𧎼 as a valid form.

Questions people ask

Why does 𧎼 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.
