What 𢿹 means
Yes; it is an old form of 殺, not a separate word.
The Shuowen Jiezi—an early dictionary about Chinese writing—labels 𢿹 古文 of 殺: an old written form. Yu Pian and the Kangxi Dictionary carry that identification forward; it has the same core sense of “kill” or “slay.”
Historical and dictionary-bound; it is not the ordinary spelling in modern Chinese.
Use 殺 in traditional Chinese or 杀 in simplified Chinese for current text.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𢿹 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.
