岽 (dōng) is a rare Chinese place-name character meaning a mountain name or ridge. A 1746 Fengshun County Gazetteer records the older form 崬 in local mountain names, so treat it as old terrain vocabulary, not a modern invention. Copy it only when a documented name spells it that way; it is not a stand-in for 东 or 栋.

Text symbol

What 岽 means

A mountain name or ridge inside a place name. Read the 东 on the right as sound, not sense: it says dōng, it does not mean east.

Simplified Chinese writes 岽; Traditional sources write 崬 for the same dōng place-name role. That is why 岽罗 in Guangxi and mountain names such as 偷牛岽 and 高螺崬 keep the character even when readers expect 栋.

Regional and toponymic: it signals a local mountain name, not casual text.

Outside a documented name, readers may mistake it for a typo or for 栋.

Why does 岽 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.
