What 砙 means
It appears in a Chinese term for “large brick.”
An entry checked 2026-09-11 by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education says 砙 is absent from Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary, and cites 𥕿砙 in Zihui Bu, a later dictionary. The Kangxi Dictionary repeats 𥕿’s large-brick gloss and links it to 㽃.
A community dictionary checked 2026-09-11 records 砙 in Sawndip, a writing system used for Zhuang, with the glosses “bottle” and “vax.” Historical texts also preserve 砙堂寺 as a temple name; these are tradition-specific uses.
The reading depends on language and context.
Do not assign the brick gloss to every context.

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.
