I use the latest version of wordpress (v3.9.2, Taiwan Chinese Traditional), and found it can not display this Chinese word 𪇆, but other Chinese words can be displayed normally.

I just use this word on a post, and all the content after it is lost (became blank, this word disappeared too), after I saved the post to draft. What should I do?

This might be a limitation of JavaScript. 𪇆 is U+2A1C6 in Unicode, and codepoints above U+FFFF (which need four bytes) are coded via UTF-16 surrogates. And that … sucks.

The canonical bug for that in WordPress is #13590 Inserting a 4-byte UTF-8 character truncates data. It was closed as maybe later, because fixing it would require a change in the database encoding that WordPress’ current schema just cannot handle.

You could try the plugin TinyMCE Chinese Convert and switch to Simplified Chinese to get around that.
