Chinese character 𩛿

38656/42720

𩛿 is an old Chinese character for a sweet made from malt syrup mixed with 饊, a fried grain food. A Western Han tomb label preserves an early form; the Han-era book for learning Chinese characters, 急就篇, lists it among foods. Taiwan's 2024 dictionary of Chinese character variants lists it as a form of 餳, while a phonology study argues the old characters had different histories.

Why does 𩛿 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.
