What 彿 means
It is a variant of 佛, chiefly seen in 彷彿.
Read the pair, not the character alone. An Eastern Wei Wuding 2 inscription around 544 writes 彿 for 佛.
The resemblance word 彷彿 also appears as 仿佛 and 髣髴, all meaning “as if” or “seemingly.” Copy it from the palette above.
Rare, literary, and source-faithful.
In 彷彿, it means “as if,” not Buddha.

Questions people ask
1Why does 彿 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.
