What 﨑 means
It is a Japanese variant of 崎, meaning “cape” or “promontory.”
One name reading is saki (さき), roughly “sah-kee,” in two short syllables. The form is inherited; a modern keyboard did not invent it.
Its computer history runs through IBM's Japanese character set, Windows-31J (an older Windows text encoding), and JIS X 0213 (a Japanese character-set standard). In older Windows-31J paths, whether this exact glyph survived could depend on the machine; a legacy record showing 崎 alone does not prove the original name used 崎.
What does 﨑 mean in a Japanese name?
In a name, it usually preserves the bearer's chosen spelling. Someone may write 山﨑 where another person writes 山崎, even when the surnames share a spoken reading.
Name-specific: the exact written form can identify the bearer's surname spelling.
Can I replace 﨑 with 崎 in a surname? No: keep the person's recorded form.

1Why does 﨑 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
