What 𧳚 means
The Kangxi Dictionary cites the Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary originally compiled around 543, for the gloss “beast”; it names no species. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education variant dictionary also lists 𧳚 as an alternate written form of 猝, meaning “sudden” or “abrupt.”
Why does 𧳚 display as a box?
If 𧳚 displays as a box, the app’s active font may not include it. As of 2026, Taiwan’s CNS11643 record says Windows 10 and later include it in the MingLiU and DFKai-SB fonts.
