Text symbol

What 㣌 means

Its entries give several separate senses. The connection and sharpness senses appear in Guangyun, a Song dynasty rhyme dictionary that groups characters by sound. The earlier Shuowen Jiezi, an influential Chinese character dictionary, does not list 㣌. A dictionary entry shows the character was written by that time; it does not date its creation.

Another Chinese dictionary, Hanyu Da Cidian, describes a person’s teeth striking together under fear or tension. That is a specific physical reaction, not a general meaning to apply automatically.

Why does 㣌 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.
