cjk unified ideograph-2b2c3

Amabiko

3012/4154

𫋃 has the Japanese reading あまびこ (amabiko), a name for a prophetic creature in 19th-century Japanese accounts. An 1843 record from Higo (now Kumamoto) describes a sea figure called 雨彦 whose image was said to bring safety and good harvests. A separate 1846 Amabie story asks readers to reproduce its image. A 1999 proposal links the names as a possible miswriting; in 2020, Amabie resurfaced as a plague-protection symbol.

Why does 𫋃 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.
