Chinese character 𬮹

5018/5762

𬮹 is a Chinese character with an old dictionary gloss, “to open.” The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, records 苦亥切 as its old sound notation (Mandarin kǎi). Qing dynasty scholar Duan Yucai traces the sense from opening a door to opening or guiding more broadly. A separate character index lists it as an analogically simplified form of 𨶿, so context clarifies its role.

Why does 𬮹 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.
