What 䆼 means

䆼 is a rare variant of 窠 meaning “cave or nest.”

The earliest named dictionary source for this form is 五音篇海, a Chinese dictionary compiled in the Jin period; its entry glosses 䆼 as “cave or nest.”

The related character 窠 also refers to animal nests, dwellings, and hollows, and has a Chinese measure-word use (a counting word used with nouns); 䆼 retains the narrower gloss. Use 䆼 for that narrow dictionary form; 窠 has the broader senses. A 2026 entry in a Japanese character dictionary flags 䆼’s rendering as environment-dependent: fonts on computers, phones, and browsers may draw it differently.

Why does 䆼 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.
