When I was typing the word 磅礴, I suddenly noticed that it looked weird. I realized that the character was missing the 氵 radical. The correct character should be 礴, while 礡 is a variant character (異體字). This typo seems to have a long history, as it also appears in the Microsoft Bopomofo, but it is correct in the macOS built-in input method.
