What 翿 means
It refers to a ritual fan or feathered banner.
A verse in the collection reads “君子陶陶，左执翿”: a dancer holds 翿 in the left hand. Here it is a fan made with feathers.
Other classical phrases show its broader ritual uses: 鹭翿 refers to a version with heron feathers; 执翿御柩 describes carrying a feathered banner to guide a coffin procession. Court ritual descriptions also place such banners on an emperor’s carriage.
Classical glosses treat 翿, 纛, and 羽葆 as different names for the same kind of feathered object; 羽葆幢 names its feather-topped banner form. 翳 is an associated gloss for a screen or covering, pointing to the object’s role rather than a lookalike spelling.
How do I type 翿?
Use a Chinese input method or Unicode hexadecimal entry.
A Chinese input method may offer it under the Mandarin reading dào or a character lookup; candidate lists depend on the method. In software with Unicode hexadecimal entry, enter 7FFF and run its conversion command.
Your device’s chosen Chinese, Japanese, or Korean font draws the character, so stroke proportions can vary by typeface. That visual difference is a font choice, not a different symbol.
Archaic and literary; outside a classical passage, its specific ritual sense needs 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.
