Text symbol

What 韼 means

韼 is listed as a variant of 韸, which means a drum sound.

The Chinese dictionary Yupian records 韸 in 543; later variant dictionaries list 韼 under it. One variant dictionary notes that 韸 is absent from Shuowen, an earlier Chinese character dictionary.

Bookish and reference-oriented: it marks a preserved variant rather than the regular written form.

For the ordinary drum-sound spelling, use 韸.

Why does 韼 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.
