Shin-bone variant

𧿂 means the shin or shin bone in Chinese; its Mandarin reading is gàn. Taiwan’s CNS 11643 standard for encoding Chinese characters includes it, preserving this old written form in digital text.

What 𧿂 means

Dictionaries record it as another form of 骭. Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary completed around AD 100, lists 骭 for the shin bone. The 11th-century Song dictionary Jiyun says 骭 may also be written 𧿂. The Han-era Huainanzi uses 骭 in a comparison about one hair on the shin; the New Book of Tang, a Chinese history completed in 1060, describes shins exposed beneath short trousers.

Why does 𧿂 show as a blank box?

The font may not include this character. Taiwan’s CNS page says default Chinese fonts on Windows 10 and later include it; it also offers a downloadable font for systems that need the glyph.

Why does 𧿂 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.
