What 㸡 means

A water-blocking board or a beam across a river. The compound 㸡𤗬 means the board. It appears in the Yupian, an early Chinese dictionary compiled around 543, and the Guangyun, a Chinese dictionary arranged by rhyming sounds and compiled in 1007–1008.

Someone sent me 㸡. What does it mean?

Don’t infer a tone from 㸡 alone. The old gloss names a board, not the sender’s reason; read nearby words or ask.

Why does 㸡 look different on another device?

It can. Fonts may draw it differently; one without 㸡 may show a box or blank.

Why is 㸡 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
