cjk unified ideograph-2a47f

Ideograph for deep black

42112/42720

𪑿 denotes “deep black” or “to dye black”; its Mandarin reading is zī, a high, level first tone. A Taiwanese Ministry of Education character-variant dictionary cites the Yùpiān (玉篇, “Jade Chapters”), a character dictionary compiled in 543 CE, and later dictionaries for these closely related senses. An older explanation connects 𪑿 to 兹 with the black component 黑 added.

Why does 𪑿 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.
