cjk unified ideograph-7fa3

Group Variant Ideograph

12708/20992

羣 means group, crowd, or flock — read qún in Mandarin. It is a historical variant of 群, not a different word. As of 2026, no single inventor is attached to it: its trail reaches bronze inscriptions and Warring States bamboo texts, with 羊 as the meaning cue and 君 as the sound. Use 羣 to preserve an older spelling; use 群 for everyday writing.

Why does 羣 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.
