𪚧

cjk unified ideograph-2a6a7

Turtle character variant

42664/42720

𪚧 is a written variant of 龜, the traditional Chinese character for “turtle” or “tortoise.” This spelling is preserved in historical dictionary records; the turtle character itself has a much older pictorial history.

What 𪚧 means

Yes. Chinese dictionaries list it as another written form of 龜.

Sisheng Pianhai (四聲篇海), a Jin-dynasty Chinese character dictionary organized by sound, records this spelling under 龜.

Much older Shang-dynasty forms of 龜 drew a turtle from above or the side. Oracle-bone divination texts were carved on turtle shells and other animal bones to ask about the ruler’s future; 龜 can also mean the shell used for divination. If your app shows a box, its font may lack this glyph.

Why does 𪚧 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.
