What 𮣬 means
It links to a character for a sieve and for sifting.
A Korean Hanja dictionary (for Chinese characters used in Korean) lists 𮣬 as the same character as 簛. Chinese references treat 簛 as a variant of 簁; Mandarin dictionaries give 簁 the reading shāi.
說文解字 defines 簁 as a bamboo sieve; the farming-and-food manual 齊民要術 describes sifting beans through silk.
Why might 𮣬 appear as a box?
The active font may lack its glyph.
Font-support listings checked in 2026 show partial coverage for some CJK Extension F fonts. If 𮣬 appears as a box, try a font that includes Extension F.

1Why does 𮣬 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.
