cjk unified ideograph-28bfa

Rare 鏢 variant

35835/42720

𨯺 is a rare written variant of 鏢, the Chinese character for a thrown dart and for goods carried under armed escort. Its dictionary history reaches back to an earlier written form, 𨰐. When this glyph occurs in historical text, read it through 鏢.

Text symbol

What 𨯺 means

A copper fitting at the end of a knife sheath. Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, gives 𨰐 as the original written form of 鏢; the later character’s meanings grew beyond this piece of sheath hardware.

Why does 𨯺 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.
