What 𮓰 means
It means “bug” or “insect” through 虫.
Japanese references list 𮓰 as a variant of 虫. In Japanese, 虫 (mushi) means “bug” or “insect.” Oracle-bone writing from the Shang dynasty—divination marks carved on bone—shows 虫 as a small animal. It once named creatures broadly; a later snake reading separated it from 蟲, but modern etymology rejects that reading.
Why might 𮓰 show as a box?
The selected font may lack this glyph.
As of 2026, CJK fonts cover different subsets of Extension F. If the selected font lacks 𮓰, software may show a missing-glyph box.

1Why does 𮓰 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.
