What 珒 means
珒 means “a kind of jade”; Mandarin sounds roughly like “jeen.”
Pinyin writes the syllable jīn; its Mandarin first tone stays high and level. The dictionary gloss names a kind of jade, so it is not a translation for every use.
珒 appears in Yupian, an early Chinese dictionary, and later dictionaries such as Jiyun and Kangxi preserve the jade gloss. Historical records also use it in personal names, including 周珒, 赵伯珒, and 沈珒. If it appears in someone’s name, keep the name as written and ask how that person reads it rather than translating 珒 as “jade.”
How do I type 珒?
In a Chinese IME, type the pinyin and choose 珒.
Pinyin input turns a pronunciation into character candidates, so select 珒 from the results. The typing options also include direct Wubi and Cangjie codes.
Why does 珒 look different or show as a box?
A box means the active font lacks 珒.
珒 is ordinary CJK text, and fonts can draw it with small stylistic differences. If it appears as a box or blank, the font in use does not include the glyph.

1Why does 珒 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.
