Marchen Subjoined Letter Ca

𑲖 is Marchen’s subjoined ca, the lower part of a consonant stack read with its base. Without a font that shapes Marchen stacks, it may look detached.

What 𑲖 means

It puts ca beneath a base consonant in a vertical stack. Read a Marchen ca stack as one unit.

Marchen wrote Zhang-zhung in Bön tradition; modern Bön literature uses it for Tibetan. Bön is a Tibetan religious tradition. Traditional accounts place Marchen before Buddhism reached Tibet in the seventh century. A 2013 Unicode proposal says no early texts are known and discusses a Menri bronze seal as an early example; its date and reading are disputed.

Marchung, Pungchen, Pungchung and Drusha are related Bön scripts. Marchen follows the vertical stacking model also used in Tibetan writing.

Why does 𑲖 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.
