What 乫 means
It writes 갈 (gal) in Korean place names. 乫 is a gukja: 加 supplies 가 and 乙 supplies final ㄹ. Its whole job is to give a Korean name syllable a Chinese-character form.
You meet it in southern 乫串里 and northern 新乫坡鎭; 葛串里 is an alternate spelling. It has no broader lexical or chat meaning as of 2026.
Specialist and place-name-specific: it signals Korean local-name spelling, not casual chat.
Do not treat it as an emoji reaction or ordinary Mandarin vocabulary.

1Why does 乫 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.
