What 䴫 means
It is a written variant grouped with the same character. Across 6th–11th-century dictionaries, 羚 is first glossed as “young sheep,” then linked to 𪋪, written with 鹿 (“deer”), for a large animal with fine horns. Those dictionaries list 䴫 among the written variants of 羚.
Rare and mainly historical; it reads like a dictionary variant, not an everyday character choice.
Use 羚 for ordinary Chinese writing; 䴫 preserves a historical variant spelling.

Questions people ask
2Why does 䴫 show as a box?
Usually, the font in use does not include this character. A font with the necessary Chinese-character coverage can display 䴫; another may show a missing-glyph box.
Can I use 䴫 instead of 羚?
Usually, no. Use 羚 in ordinary Chinese writing for 羚羊 (“antelope”); keep 䴫 when preserving a source’s variant spelling.
