What 㗍 means

Dictionary records link 㗍 to biting and silence.

㗍 is a Han character used in Chinese and related writing systems. One Chinese dictionary lists it in the gnawing-or-biting variant family; another identifies it with 喑 (“silent”). Alone, 㗍 has no single dependable reading.

The earliest named source is the Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543; Longkan Shoujian, Guangyun and Jiyun also preserve the variant trail. Strokes are font-dependent, so a screenshot can blur variant distinctions.

Why does 㗍 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.
