nushu character-1b1b4

Nushu Character 1B1B4

69/396

𛆴 is a Nüshu syllabic character read vwe33 in Jiangyong's local Chinese dialect; it marks a syllable, not a word. Women used Nüshu for poems, songs and friends' letters, adapting shapes from Chinese characters. A Taiping-era coin (1851–1864) is claimed as early evidence, though its authenticity is disputed; survey accounts appear in the 1930s. By 2006, Nüshu was recognized as Chinese intangible cultural heritage; its origins remained disputed in 2021.

Why does 𛆴 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.
