Kazura hair ornament

It reads かずら (kazura), a traditional hair ornament of vines or flowers.

In ancient Japan people tied vines, grasses or cloth into their hair for festivals and rites; those plant garlands were kazura. The eighth-century anthology Man'yōshū already has a verse on wearing willow as kazura. Over time the same word came to cover wigs and hairpieces too, in the form かつら (katsura) — a sense still alive in kabuki theatre, where each type of role has its set wig styles.

The character itself is a variant of 鬘, built on 髟, the 'long hair' element. This particular form was catalogued by Moji Jōhō, a Japanese government project that registers character shapes used in official documents, which is how it reached Unicode. Everyday Japanese writes the word in kana or as 鬘; 𮫏 remains the rare form kept in character registries.

Why does 𮫏 show up as an empty box?

Your font or app can't draw it — the character itself is fine.

𮫏 sits in CJK Extension F, a block of rare Han characters added in 2017 that not every font includes. The box is a missing-glyph marker — font people call it 'tofu' — not a different character: the text is correct, only the display fails. Installing a font that covers Extension F, or opening the text in an app or page that loads one, shows the real character.
