cjk unified ideograph-2a4bb

Blue-black ideograph

42172/42720

𪒻 is pronounced ǎn in Mandarin and means “blue-black”; lexicons list it as a written variant of 黤 (yǎn). Its earliest known record is in the 997 Longkan Shoujian, a character dictionary made to help readers understand Buddhist texts. The early Shuowen Jiezi (c. 100 CE) defines 黤 with the same color sense; Jin- and Song-era poems also use it for night darkness.

Why does 𪒻 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.
