Japanese kanji 靭

18798/20992

靭 means flexible toughness in Japanese: it can bend without breaking. It appears in words for ligaments, material toughness, and inner-bark fiber. Chinese dictionaries list it as a variant of traditional 韌, simplified as 韧. The separate quiver character 靫 appears in Nihon Shoki, an early Japanese chronicle completed in 720.

Why does 靭 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.
