Getting 非unicode but it's kind of hard to believe.
Is there really no unicode for "扌𬙙"?

Where did you find this character? It's probably a rare/regional (southwest) variation of other character, like 楞, 愣 or 塄? (Although the given meaning suggests something different.) Some characters have many different variations, and there are no Unicode for them all, it seems. – Rodrigo Dec 22 '15 at 13:44

扌has unicode, but maybe your input is not encoded in unicode. This is not a Chinese question, but a encoding problem. I believe if you ask some computer programmer or I18N engineer, you would get better answer – gcd0318 Dec 23 '15 at 4:42

Uhhhhh....this is not a question about 扌but about 扌 as a radical with 罒 and 方, so don't really know what you are answering – Mou某♦ Dec 23 '15 at 4:44

1When were zisea or yedict last updated? May be the CJK Unified Ideographs Ext. E have this included. – imrek Dec 23 '15 at 8:44

that's the same problem. you are not asking a question about Chinese, but character encoding. You should ask I18N engineer, but not people learning Chinese – gcd0318 Dec 23 '15 at 8:57

Fear no more, for there is now:
「𭡥」
(Unicode: U+2D865)

1I can see most of the Chinese characters on this site but not the one you posted. What do I need to do to have it appear on my English Windows 10? – joehua Nov 22 '20 at 21:24

@joehua I cannot either. It would take some time (maybe a lot) for fonts to get updated to include these characters. And you may have to manually install them. These characters can only the correctly displayed with appropriate fonts installed. – fefe Nov 23 '20 at 2:22

Nothing surprising about it. I too have never seen this character, and the Unicode doesn't record all Chinese characters, by far. Here's what the Unicode tables show:
The main table, radical 扌, 9 strokes.
The Extension B table, radical 扌, 9 strokes.
The Extension B table, radical 扌, 9 strokes, continued.
As you can see, no 扌罒方 here. So, no Unicode.

1My surprise was that it's collected in 《字海》and a bunch of my old (topolectical) dictionaries all have it – Mou某♦ Dec 24 '15 at 4:25

Sure and if I take my old paper dictionary that has 50k+ characters, it will probably be there. Doesn't have anything to do with Unicode organisation though. Note you said old dictionaries. Which were printed way before the Unicode was started. Don't assume all sinograms have a Unicode... – dda Dec 24 '15 at 6:31

As a native Chinese, I've never learned this character. But I can't tell whether it "really doesn't exist".
I think it's a region-specific-writing-by-mistake creation. People want to express the meaning but don't know there is an existing character for it. Back when communicating with the outside was very difficult, it was a common scenario.
According to the explanation of the character, there is a formal character 捻 to express the same meaning.
