cjk unified ideograph-2a3a8

Chinese character for a fiber plant

41897/42720

𪎨 is a Chinese character for a fiber plant, later identified as 苘麻 (velvetleaf, Abutilon theophrasti). The Eastern Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi defines it as a kind of 檾 and analyzes it as 麻 (“hemp”) plus 俞 as a sound clue; the Song-dynasty rhyme dictionary Guangyun (1008) adds a gloss for a bundle of hemp and lists 䵉 as an alternate form.

Why does 𪎨 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.
