What 𧆼 means
It describes red-and-black marks on a tiger's coat. The Song-era Ji Yun and Lei Pian are Chinese character dictionaries that record this gloss; the later Kangxi Dictionary repeats it.
Why does 𧆼 appear on Triad flags?
It served as an emblem marking a division. In the Qing era, a historical account describes the Triad—a Chinese secret society—using custom-made written signs to mark its divisions on flags. 𧆼 appears in that list.

1Why does 𧆼 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.
