What 㴡 means
No established reading or everyday meaning is available.
As of 2026, the Japanese kanji reference Jitenon lists both as unknown, and Unihan’s definition file has no entry for 㴡. If it appears alone in a message, ask for its source text before assigning it a meaning.
Where does 㴡 come from?
Its documented trail is about standardization, not first use.
Unicode’s history says Extension A was completed in 1998 from national, industrial, and historical sources.
The Unicode 18.0 chart records 㴡 with source reference GS-2363. These entries document how it was encoded; they do not explain its original use or meaning.
How do I type and display 㴡?
Use a character-code entry; ordinary Japanese conversion is unreliable.
In code or JSON, write the escape \u3D21 in a string literal, then decode it at runtime. In Microsoft Office, type 3D21 and press AltX. As of 2026, a Japanese reference lists no JIS X 0213 or Shift_JIS-2004 assignment, so a Japanese input method is not a dependable route.
A font without this glyph may show a blank box, while another font may draw a different outline. That visual difference alone does not make it a different character.
As of 2026, 㴡 has no established conversational register; without its source context, its meaning cannot be recovered from the glyph alone.
Do not infer a meaning from 氵 and 香 alone.

1Why is 㴡 a box or blank?
The active font may not contain U3D21. Switch to a Han font with Extension A coverage; a different outline is a font-design difference, not evidence of a different character.
