𭺊 is a historical character used inside a Chinese Buddhist word for crystal. Its word family later supplied the ordinary term for manufactured glass, though the older passage is naming a gem.

Text symbol

What 𭺊 means

In 玻𭺊, it names a crystal-like gem.

A comparison of editions of a Chinese Buddhist scripture records 玻𭺊 in a copy from China’s Ming dynasty, while the 1924 Taishō collection of Chinese Buddhist texts reads 颇梨.

The crystal term entered Chinese through Buddhist translations around the Three Kingdoms period. Its related spelling 玻璃 appears by the Tang dynasty and, by the Song dynasty, also names manufactured glass.

On the SAT character list, a downloaded font draws 𭺊; if a browser cannot load it, the glyph can appear blank.

Why does 𭺊 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.
