What 𢀑 means
The origin is disputed. Traditional explanations say 巨 pictures a hand holding a carpenter’s square, a tool for checking right angles. Another treats 巨 as a shortened form of 矩, the character for that tool, later reused to write “large.”
In ordinary Chinese writing, 巨 is the usual form; 𢀑 is historical.
If 𢀑 appears as a box, the font lacks its glyph; it is still the same character.

1Why does 𢀑 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.
