㳳 is a Chinese technical character for the K meson — the kaon — not a mood, reaction, or emoji. The particle was first observed in cosmic-ray work in 1947; that dates the particle, not the glyph.

Text symbol

What 㳳 means

It names the K meson, also called a kaon. Chinese dictionaries read it kè in the particle-name compound; 介子 means 'meson', a class of unstable subatomic particles.

The 2024 Taiwan Ministry of Education entry notes the ancient dictionary Shuowen (《说文》) does not record it; this is technical terminology, not an everyday word.

Japanese kanji references list its reading and meaning as unknown, and fonts can draw it differently.

Technical register; sent alone it needs context.

Water radical 氵: part of the glyph, not the meaning.

Why does 㳳 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.
