What 𧆣 means
It names a small-mouthed clay jar. The Mandarin Chinese dictionary reading is lú.
A related written form, 𧇄, appears in Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary completed around 100 CE. Later entries give 𧆣 a food-vessel sense; “tiger markings” is a separate Kangxi Dictionary gloss, so use it only when context supports it.
Why does 𧆣 look like a box?
A box usually means the font lacks this glyph. Unicode Standard 16.0 describes Extension B as a home for rare, historic Han characters; use a font that covers the block for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) text.

1Why does 𧆣 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.
