Han character 𪣲

499/4154

𪣲 is an uncommon Han character documented in personal names; Taiwan’s CNS11643 record gives its Mandarin reading as miáo. A local gazetteer printed in 1881 preserves it in a name. Its form combines 土 and 苗, but those parts do not translate the whole character.

What 𪣲 means

Its clearest documented role is as part of a personal name.

《同州府续志》 is a local gazetteer, a record of a prefecture’s people and affairs; its biographies include 李蔚𪣲. Taiwan’s CNS11643 entry lists 𪣲 for Ministry of the Interior household-registration use and gives the Taiwan Mandarin reading miáo (pinyin miao). The entry analyzes its form as 土苗: 土 on the left and 苗 on the right. Those parts describe the written form; they do not translate the whole character.

Why does 𪣲 show as a box?

An older character set or font may not contain it.

A Taiwan household-office guide from 2014 says uncommon characters outside the Big5 set could appear as in electronic household-register extracts. It recommends checking the official document or contacting the local household office to confirm the name.

Why does 𪣲 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.
