What 揔 means
揔 is a historical variant tied to gathering, management, and totality.
An early Chinese dictionary, 說文解字, explains 總 through gathering and binding. Dictionaries connect 揔 through the related hand-component form 摠 to 總; later records extend the sense to holding, leading, combining, and “all.” Chinese references record a Mandarin reading. Japanese references also list the sound reading ソウ and readings meaning “everything” (すべて) and “gather or put together” (まとめる).
For the familiar standard character, use 總 (simplified Chinese 总); 揔 is a historical variant.
As of 2026, fonts and devices may draw 揔 differently; an outline change alone does not prove the character changed.

1Why does 揔 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.
