What 𮃬 means
A Japanese font sample pairs M059996 with 稽. The MJ character-information system records glyph distinctions needed in names and other records.
稽古 (けいこ, keiko) means “practice.” A Japanese historical dictionary traces it to “study the past,” citing an example from 822; later senses include learning and practice.
Why does 𮃬 look different on my device?
The exact glyph may depend on font and app support.
The MJ table, version 006.02 (2024-01), pairs it with an ideographic variation selector—an invisible mark after the character—to request a specific glyph. It warns that fonts or apps without IVS support may show another form.

1Why does 𮃬 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.
