What 肒 means
A sore caused by scratching. The earliest verified dictionary entry is in the Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary from the Eastern Han dynasty. It defines 肒 this way and analyzes it as 肉 (flesh) plus 丸 (a sound component); the entry does not establish when the character began.
The 肒 variants 𤴯, 𤼐, and 𦘾 are listed by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education as forms of the same dictionary entry.

Questions people ask
1Why does 肒 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.
