cjk unified ideograph-296be

𩚾

38591/42720

𩚾 is listed under 飯, a character for food or eating, in a chart of seal-script forms for the Eastern Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi; seal script is a formal style of Chinese writing. The Kangxi Dictionary preserves it as a separate entry with pronunciation clues but no definition, and other dictionary entries offer conflicting identifications, so the records do not settle on one meaning.

Why does 𩚾 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.
