What 𮱞 means
Use Unicode-hex input if your editor supports it.
Enter 2EC5E and trigger the editor’s conversion command. Shortcuts differ by app; this method enters the code point directly.
What is 𮱞 used for?
It preserves an exact character in Chinese identity records.
The source tag GIDC23-111 links 𮱞 to China’s Ministry of Public Security ID system. The GIDC23 source series is dated 2023; that dates the source record, not necessarily the written form. The Public Security Population Information Special Font was customized for registering resident identity cards.
In a 2023 draft amendment to GB 18030, China’s coded-character standard, officials proposed 622 additions from that font. Some entries had only Private Use Area codes—values without a shared meaning across systems—so names could fail to transfer accurately. Permanent Unicode values were proposed to help uncommon personal and place names move between systems.
Why might 𮱞 show as a box?
Your font may not include the glyph.
Unicode preserves the character value, but fonts provide the visible shape. If a box appears, inspect the stored code point; if it remains 2EC5E, the text is intact and the selected font lacks this glyph.
Administrative and name-specific; preserve the exact glyph in identity records.
Do not replace it with a more familiar character in a person’s name.

1Why does 𮱞 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.
