What 𭙳 means
Use the escape syntax your format expects. In HTML, write 𭙳. In Python, use \U0002D673. JSON and JavaScript use UTF-16 escapes: \uD875\uDE73 is the two-part representation of this single character.
Why does 𭙳 show as a blank box?
The font may lack this particular glyph. The SAT 2018 edition said few fonts supported every rare character it encoded and recommended Hanazono Mincho. If the character is blank in one app but visible in another, the font may be the difference; the stored character can still be intact.
Why is 𭙳 in a Buddhist-text database?
It preserves a printed graph in searchable text. The SAT Daizōkyō project built a digital edition of the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō, a Japanese-edited collection of Buddhist scriptures. Its early computer text could not display many printed kanji, so the team proposed standard Unicode characters to retain those forms in search and citation. When reproducing this text, keep 𭙳 as its own character; substituting another graph changes the transcription.

1Why does 𭙳 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.
