Small-Dove Han Character

𪆴 is a Chinese character for a small dove in the Western Han book Fangyan, an early record of regional speech. The Kangxi Dictionary, a historical Chinese reference, gives it the Mandarin reading kuí. Typing can be tricky: some Unicode hexadecimal (base-16) input methods accept only four digits, while this character needs five.

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.
