Metalworking form 𮢴

6661/7473

A Chinese dictionary equates 𮢴 with 镕, the simplified form of 鎔, a character for metal casting and melting. The Eastern Han-era lexicon Shuowen Jiezi glosses 鎔 as a method for making vessels from metal; dictionaries also give it for a casting mold or the act of melting metal. Its Japanese source record comes from a government project built to preserve personal names in digital administration.

Text symbol

What 𮢴 means

A font without this glyph can show a box.

As of 2026, Japan’s Moji-Joho character list identifies IPAmj Mincho as a compatible font for its glyph set. In a browser or document app using a font without 𮢴, the text may still contain the character even when the font cannot draw it.

Why does 𮢴 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.
