What 𮱅 means
It is a rare Han character preserved for names and places.
Unicode's 2023 source list labels 𮱅 GIDC23-086, connecting it to a character set used in China's Ministry of Public Security population records. China's 2024 GB 18030 amendment included this collection to help rare personal and place names in government records pass between computer systems.
Why does 𮱅 look like a box?
Your font may not include a drawing for this character.
A browser font listing checked on 2026-10-05 showed 𮱅 in LastResort, a fallback font that marks characters unsupported by the main font. Your own font may render it differently; a blank box does not mean the stored character changed.
Administrative and highly specialized; it matters when records must preserve an exact rare-character spelling.

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.
