cjk unified ideograph-29aba

Chinese ideograph 𩪺

39611/42720

Chinese dictionary entries record 𩪺 with the Mandarin reading tán but leave its meaning unexplained. A Jin-era character dictionary, 《四聲篇海》, is dated to 1208 and gives its sound by pointing to 曇 (also read tán); it cites the lexicon 《餘文》, described as lost in a 2010 study, and the Kangxi dictionary repeats the note, leaving a chain of dictionary references to the reading.

Why does 𩪺 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.
