cjk unified ideograph-2a653

Han ideograph 𪙓

42580/42720

𪙓 is a historical variant of 齧, a Chinese character whose Mandarin reading is niè and whose meaning is “bite” or “gnaw.” The 997 CE Longkan Shoujian dictionary lists it as the same character. Shuowen Jiezi, an earlier dictionary, gives 齧 the biting sense; classical texts also use it for erosion or a notch. In an old text, let context tell you whether teeth are involved.

Why does 𪙓 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
