What 𫆒 means
The ear connects the character family to hearing. The older form 悤 appears in Late Shang oracle-bone records—divination texts scratched on animal bones—and bronze inscriptions around 1250–1046 BCE. The Han-era Chinese dictionary Shuowen jiezi, compiled around 100 CE, defines 聰 as 察, “perceptive,” and analyzes it as 耳 (“ear”) plus 悤, the part that supplies the sound.
In Chinese, this character family covers keen hearing, perceptiveness, and cleverness: 聰 is traditional and 聪 simplified. Japanese uses 聡. The exact glyph 𫆒 is recorded as a variant of 聡, not a separate meaning. A Unicode hexadecimal input method that supports supplementary characters can enter 2B192.
Why might 𫆒 appear as a box?
A font without this glyph may show a box or blank. This character is in a supplementary CJK range; a device may retain it correctly even when its available font cannot draw it.
Use this exact variant when preserving the source glyph; otherwise follow the established spelling in the language you’re writing.
Do not silently replace 聡, 聰, or 聪 with 𫆒 in a source transcription.

1Why does 𫆒 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C 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.
