What 𢮬 means
Read it as chút (“a little”).
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese writing to record Vietnamese. A Nôm literary line, “Chút lời mảnh chữ” (“a few words, a scrap of writing”), uses 𢮬 for its first word.
In 21st-century Vietnam, chữ Nôm appears chiefly in historical and liturgical settings; 𢮬 therefore feels archival in ordinary writing.
For everyday Vietnamese, write chút in the Quốc ngữ alphabet; reserve 𢮬 for a Nôm transcription.

1Why does 𢮬 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.
