Musk deer character

41704/42720

𪋧 is an older written variant of 麝, a Chinese character for a musk deer and its scent. The Han dictionary Shuowen, completed around 100 CE, describes the animal; a Tang poem uses 麝 for musk's fragrance. 麝 is the standard written form.

Text symbol

What 𪋧 means

Yes. 𪋧 and 麝 are alternate forms for the same Chinese word.

In Mandarin, 麝 is pronounced shè. The Han dictionary Shuowen describes a deer-like animal whose navel is fragrant; it parses 𪋧 as 鹿 (“deer”) plus 䠶 as the sound element.

Why might 𪋧 look like a box?

A box can mean your fonts lack this character.

If no available font covers this character, software may show a box or another fallback mark. That is a display failure, not a different character; the underlying text can still contain 𪋧.

Why does 𪋧 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.
