Chinese Character 𬣚

4283/5762

𬣚 is a shortened form patterned on 𧥣, a Chinese character for asking or knocking; its Mandarin reading is kǒu. The Eastern Han dynasty Shuowen Jiezi, a character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, describes 𧥣 as “knock,” built from speech and mouth. Another dictionary, Guangya, glosses doubled 𧥣𧥣 as “laugh”; regional dictionaries list “settle” in Southwestern Mandarin and “gauge quantities” in Wu, a group of Chinese varieties.

Why does 𬣚 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.
