Text symbol

What 詋 means

A rare written variant of 咒.

The earliest cited record is in the Liang-dynasty dictionary 玉篇. Taiwan’s variant dictionary lists 詋 under 咒, notes later dictionary records, and cites 祝 and 詶 in the same history.

Use 咒 in ordinary Chinese; keep 詋 when a source uses it. Its shape depends on the font.

Source-specific; 咒 is ordinary.

For the ordinary word, use 咒; 詋 can look unusual.

Why does 詋 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.
