Text symbol

What 𪍀 means

A broad old gloss for cake-like food. The Jiyun (集韻), a Song dynasty Chinese dictionary that groups characters by pronunciation, gives qí with this meaning. The Kangxi Dictionary also records the broad food gloss.

That wording names a category, not a recipe.

What does 𪍀子 mean in Central Plains Mandarin?

A regional word for noodles. The 1986–1990 Hanyu Da Zidian, a large Chinese character dictionary, records 𪍀子 with this meaning in Central Plains Mandarin, one regional group of Mandarin.

Why does 𪍀 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.
