What does 𫾧 mean?
The chart links it to an index, not a modern reading.
The Unicode chart maps 𫾧 to GZJW-00405 in 殷周金文集成引得, a character index to inscriptions on bronze objects from China's ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties. This documents the character's catalogue trail; it does not identify a specific artifact or give a modern reading.
As of 2026-10-05, the BabelStone Han glyph table lists 𫾧. If another font shows a square, it lacks this character's outline; the code point has not changed.
