What 豠 means
It denotes a kind of pig. The earliest recorded definition appears in Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese dictionary from the Han dynasty. 豕 marks the animal category; 且 supplies the sound.
The Kangxi Dictionary also records 𧱑 as an alternate written form.
Archaic and specialist: fits old-text reading and dictionary entries, not everyday writing.
A box means your font lacks the glyph; the character itself is unchanged.
Questions people ask
1Why does 豠 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.
