What 𰛸 means
It is a nonstandard form of 淀. The 997 Longkan Shoujian (龍龕手鑑), a character dictionary compiled by Liao monk Xingjun, explains written forms and readings in Buddhist scriptures.
A Japanese poetry collection printed in 1758–61 uses it in a river name. This is a later place-name use, not a new everyday meaning.
Questions people ask
1Why does 𰛸 show as a box?
A font fallback is the likely cause. As of 2026, some CJK font coverage still lacks this glyph; a browser using one may show a box. A font with Extension G coverage can display it.
