Text symbol

What 𫋀 means

It corresponds to 蛼, used in the clam name 蛼螯. The Song dynasty dictionary Jiyun, which organizes Chinese characters by sound, records 蛼螯 as a clamlike shellfish. A recipe in Suiyuan Shidan (1792), a Chinese cookbook by writer Yuan Mei, prepares it with pork and sesame oil.

Why does 𫋀 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.
