Flea character

𫊫 is an alternate written form of 蚤, the Han character for “flea.” One surviving record comes from a Korean lesson on insect names.

Text symbol

What 𫊫 means

It paired the character with a Korean reading and everyday vocabulary. In 1527, Choe Sejin’s Hunmongjahoe, a primer for children learning Chinese characters, gives 𫊫 the Korean reading 조 (jo) and gloss 벼룩 (“flea”). It also labels 虼𫊫 and 跳𫊫 colloquial names for fleas.

Why does 𫊫 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.
