Later dictionaries add a kind of fish, crab spawn, and removing fish scales.

Questions people ask
1Why does 䲊 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.
