𩛧

cjk unified ideograph-296e7

Porridge character

38632/42720

𩛧 is an old Chinese written form for porridge or gruel. The Kangxi Dictionary quotes two earlier dictionaries: 字彙 says porridge; 正字通 calls it a mistaken form of 飦. Taiwan’s 2024 Ministry of Education variant-character dictionary links it to 䭈, itself a variant of 饘. The early Shuowen Jiezi dictionary says Zhou (an early dynasty) called the food 饘, while the states of Song and Wei called it 餬.

Why does 𩛧 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.
