What 𣋹 means
It records sound in a borrowed Buddhist term.
The Kangxi Dictionary, an old Chinese reference work, cites 𣋹 in 阿毘曇八犍度論, a Buddhist treatise translated into Chinese in 383. A Buddhist sound glossary pairs 𣋹呵羅 with 毗訶羅, a Chinese spelling of the Sanskrit word vihāra, meaning a dwelling for Buddhist monks. In this 383 text, 𣋹 writes part of the term’s sound rather than standing for a separate word.

1Why does 𣋹 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.
