What 䳲 means
It can name a white egret or describe birds lifting off together. The classical Chinese phrase 振鷺于飛 pictures egrets rising in flight and uses them ceremonially as a comparison for honored guests. Historical dictionaries explain 䳲 as 振 with the bird component 鳥 added to mark this sense.
The earliest attestation is in 《元讞墓誌》, a 528 Northern Wei tomb inscription, where the phrase appears as 䳲鷺. A Shinjuu Shogi guide names a Japanese game piece 步䳲 and glosses it “Walking Heron.”
Why can 䳲 appear as a box?
A font needs this glyph to display the character. If the font lacks it, a box or substitute mark may appear. A Unicode character map can locate the entry by 4CF2.
Literary and lexicographic in Chinese; its Japanese game use is specific to a specialist guide.

Questions people ask
1Why does 䳲 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
