What 𮬎 means
It names a loach, the fish called どじょう in Japanese. A 1983 study by Toshio Yamada locates 𮬎 in Shin-Tokusa, an Edo-period collection of comic linked verse. A Japanese character reference classifies it as a kokuji—a kanji made in Japan—and gives the familiar fish spellings as どじょう, 鰌, and 泥鰌.
Questions people ask
1Why does 𮬎 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.
