What 𐞈 means

A raised phonetic form of ꭦ.

“Voiced” means the vocal cords vibrate; “retroflex” means the tongue tip curls back. It closes briefly and releases with a hiss.

Sinological and Sino-Tibetanist sound writing (for Chinese and related languages) uses ꭦ; Naxi dictionaries document it in 1995 and 2001. The International Phonetic Alphabet’s raised 𐞈 was encoded in 2021, after the notation began.

Why can 𐞈 look missing?

A font may not support it.

As of 2026, font support is uneven; fallback changes display, not the character.

Why does 𐞈 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.
