Chinese character for a scabbard

37827/42720

𩏂 is a Chinese character recorded for a scabbard, the case that holds a blade; dictionaries also link it to 韠, a leather panel worn over the knees as formal clothing. Context about weapons or dress distinguishes the two readings.

Why does 𩏂 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.
