cjk unified ideograph-2e11f

Archaic character for west

4720/7473

𮄟 is an old written form of 西, the Han character for “west.” The Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi links 西’s shape to a bird settling on its nest at sunset. One printed source for this form is the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō, a Japanese collection of Buddhist scriptures published 1924–1934.

Why does 𮄟 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.
