Text symbol

What 𪢥 means

It is a Cantonese character for asking “where?”

Cantonese also asks “where?” with 邊度 (bin1 dou6). In 𪢥, 口 is paired with 邊 to write that question as one character.

Its “where?” reading is specifically Cantonese, so do not assume the same reading in Mandarin.

How old is the written record?

The source reference is a dialect dictionary published in 1999.

It is Hanyu Fangyan Dacidian (“Great Dictionary of Chinese Dialects”); the book’s publication date identifies the reference, not the spoken word’s beginning.

Why does 𪢥 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.
