What 𮫮 means
It is a variant form of 魚, meaning “fish.”
Oracle-bone inscriptions—writing carved on bone or turtle shell during China's Shang dynasty—show 魚 as a picture of a fish used to write the word “fish.” Japanese character references classify 𮫮 as a nonstandard variant of 魚, not the name of a particular species.
𮫮 and 魚 are encoded separately, so exact-text searches can distinguish them. Preserve the particular form when matching a source exactly.
Why does 𮫮 show as a box?
Your font may not include this character's glyph.
The BabelStone Han Extension F font chart, checked 2026-10-05, includes 𮫮; another font may lack it and show an empty box. That fallback does not change the underlying text.

1Why does 𮫮 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.
