cjk unified ideograph-2a115

Bān character (Mandarin reading)

41238/42720

𪄕 is read bān in Mandarin and appears in the Chinese bird name 𪄕鸠, a name for a dove; 𪉒 is its linked simplified-Chinese form. Ming-era rhyme dictionaries—books that group characters by rhyming sounds—record it, and a Qing-era Buddhist commentary quotes a saying praising the dove for making a home with just a few twigs.

Why does 𪄕 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.
