Text symbol

What 𮐱 means

It is a written variant of 蔻, used for cardamom.

A Japanese kanji reference cites 𮐱 in 孔雀經音義, a glossary of Buddhist scripture terms. The surviving Daigoji copy is dated 1111. A Tang dynasty poem by Du Mu compares a young woman to cardamom buds; 豆蔻年華 (simplified 豆蔻年华) became a phrase for a girl’s early teens, not the lone glyph.

A font-coverage issue. If the device's font does not include this glyph, it may appear as a box or blank; the text still contains the same character.
