What 縤 means
It means silk cloth before bleaching or boiling.
The Chinese character dictionary 玉篇, compiled in the Liang dynasty around 543, records 縤 as 生帛: silk fabric before that processing.
It belongs in historical spellings and specialist textile sources. Because it is a rare Han character, a font that lacks it may show a box or fallback glyph.
Classical, dictionary-based textile vocabulary.
Do not use 縤 as a general replacement for 素.
