Seal variant

35874/42720

𨰡 is a rare variant linked to 璽, the character for a ruler’s seal or signet. Before the Qin dynasty, 璽 named private and officials’ seals; the Qin court reserved it for emperors, and the Han dynasty later allowed it for some princes and empresses. This form may appear as a box if your font lacks its glyph.

What 𨰡 means

Yes. Dictionaries list 𨰡 among variant forms of 璽.

An Eastern Han dictionary, Shuowen Jiezi, defines 璽 as a ruler’s seal. Early seals authenticated authority; clay pressed over a tied letter showed whether it had been opened.

Why might 𨰡 appear as a box?

It can be a font issue: the selected font may not contain its glyph. The text can remain intact while a supporting font displays the character.
