What 𢭏 means
𢭏 is a Japanese variant of 擣, a character meaning “to pound.”
Japanese character references list 𢭏 as an extended simplified form of 擣; its right side uses 寿 instead of 壽. In Chinese, 擣 and 搗 are related traditional forms of a verb meaning to pound, smash, or strike; simplified Chinese writes 捣.
These forms are related, but they are not one spelling used everywhere. Match the character to the language and writing convention of the surrounding text.
Should I use 𢭏 in Chinese text?
Only when the text specifically calls for the Japanese form.
Simplified Chinese uses 捣; traditional Chinese references record 搗 and 擣 as variants for the same verb. In Chinese writing, use the form expected by the text rather than substituting 𢭏 by appearance.
A specialized Japanese character form; use it where that exact spelling is intended.
Choose the form required by the text's language and region; the Japanese and Chinese forms are not interchangeable.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𢭏 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B 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.
