Text symbol

What 𭽂 means

No; it is a variant of 發. 俗字 labels a nonstandard form; what counts as standard can shift by period and region.

Older explanations trace 發 to a bow trembling as an arrow is released. Later, writers added 攴 for meaning, then replaced it with 癹 for sound. Its sense expanded to sending, departing, starting, arising, showing, or issuing.

Treat 𭽂 as a variant of 發; follow the standard spelling for the language and region.

In Simplified Chinese, 发 represents both 發 (“send out”) and 髮 (“hair”); read it in the word's context.

Why does 𭽂 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.
