cjk unified ideograph-290fa

Chinese character 𩃺

37115/42720

The Kangxi Dictionary records 𩃺 with the gloss “rain.” It cites the Yupian, a Chinese dictionary compiled in 543, for the Mandarin reading hóu, and the Pianhai dictionary for the gloss. That gives a historical dictionary meaning; read the surrounding text to tell what someone intends by the character.

Why does 𩃺 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.
