Han Character for a Ghost Name

40079/42720

The Kangxi Dictionary, an old Chinese reference book, records the Han character 𩲎 as a ghost name. It cites an earlier dictionary called Pianhai for the note “sounds like 右” (modern Mandarin yòu); here, 右 is a sound clue, not the meaning “right.”

Why does 𩲎 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.
