cjk unified ideograph-28d21

𨴡

36130/42720

The Kangxi Dictionary entry leaves 𨴡’s meaning unresolved. It records the Mandarin reading chāo and cites the Ming-era Pianhai leibian for a pronunciation note, so the surviving trail tells you how this rare character was catalogued, not what word it reliably writes.

Text symbol

What 𨴡 means

𨴡 is the cjk unified ideograph-28d21. Unicode classifies it as a letter and files it in the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block; this site shelves it under Chinese, Japanese & Korean.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

𨴡 is a single code point, U28D21. In HTML that is 𨴡, and in CSS \28D21.

Why does 𨴡 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.

Why is 𨴡 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
