Jie Bird Character

𮭡 is the simplified variant of 䲸, an old Chinese bird-name character. A classic dictionary describes the bird, and a later note distinguishes its name from another bird that older texts confused with it.

What 𮭡 means

Unicode's Han-character database lists 𮭡 as the simplified variant of 䲸. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary completed around 100 CE, describes 䲸 (Mandarin jiè) as a blue-green bird resembling a pheasant, from a region associated with the Qiang people. It analyzes 鳥 (bird) as the meaning component and 介 as the sound component.

Qing-era scholar Duan Yucai's note warns that earlier books confused 䲸 with 鶡, a different dark bird name associated with imperial guards' headwear. It treats them as names for distinct birds.

Why does 𮭡 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.
