What 𨃌 means
It can mean “shoe” or “delay”; context settles the reading.
The Chữ Nôm dictionary Tự Điển Chữ Nôm Dẫn Giải cites 𨃌 for giày (“footwear”) in Truyền kỳ and Phan Trần, and for chầy (“delay”) in Thiên Nam. These examples show the same character writing two different Vietnamese words.
What is Chữ Nôm?
It is a historical writing system for Vietnamese.
After Vietnam regained independence in 939, scholars gradually developed Chữ Nôm by adapting Chinese characters and their parts to write Vietnamese. The dictionary places 𨃌 under the foot component and analyzes its other written component as 持.

1Why does 𨃌 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.
