cjk unified ideograph-2a7ca

𪟊, the old graph for 顧

203/4154

The meaning of 𪟊 depends on its old Chinese context: it is a graph used for 顧 (“look back” or “attend to”), while 𪟊 in 寡 (“few” or “widowed”) supplies a sound rather than a meaning. Its turned-head shape is interpreted as picturing a person looking back. Bronze inscriptions from the Western Zhou already show the component inside 寡; a Warring States bamboo-slip text titled 善而 uses 𪟊 for 顧 before 利 (“profit”).

Why does 𪟊 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.
