What 寍 means
It conveys calm. As of 2026, Chinese dictionaries mark it obsolete; traditional Chinese writing uses 寧.
An oracle-bone inscription—writing carved on bone or shell—may use 寍 as a place name; a bronze inscription from China's Western Zhou dynasty uses it for peace. A font without it may show a box.
Archaic; chiefly a historical or specialist form.
In casual messages, it may look like a typo for 寧.

1Why does 寍 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.
