nushu character-1b1df

Nüshu character 𛇟

112/396

𛇟 is a Nüshu character in a syllabic script for Jiangyong’s Chinese dialect; such signs usually record sounds, not words. Women shaped Nüshu from Chinese writing and used it for songs, letters and “third-day books,” wedding booklets brides received from sworn sisters. Its origin remained unsettled in 2017; the earliest written notice is a 1931 Hunan survey. By 2017, broader schooling had weakened the practice; scholars documented it.

Why does 𛇟 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.
