𮬈 is a written variant of 龜, the traditional Chinese character for a turtle or tortoise, recorded in a Chinese Buddhist text. Its fish radical is a dictionary filing clue, not a sign that it means fish.

Text symbol

What 𮬈 means

It is a written variant of 龜, “turtle” or “tortoise.”

It is cited in 菩薩從兜術天降神母胎説廣普經, a Chinese Buddhist text about the Buddha teaching while in the womb.

Why does 𮬈 have a fish radical?

The fish radical is its dictionary filing component, not its definition.

A radical is the part a dictionary uses to group a character. The Unicode chart files 𮬈 under 魚; the cited reading is 龜.

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.
