What 𨓲 means
Its earliest recorded dictionary sense is “to pass.” The Shuowen Jiezi, a Han Chinese character dictionary compiled 100–121 CE, gives that gloss. Its entry analyzes 𨓲 with a movement component, fitting the idea of going past something.
Traditional dictionaries later record 𨓲 as a variant of 愆, a character for error, fault, or transgression. A later commentary links the senses: going beyond can become an overstep. In an old passage, use the surrounding sentence to tell whether 𨓲 describes movement or a figurative fault.
It has an old-book register, seen in classical passages and character dictionaries.

1Why does 𨓲 appear as a box?
A font without a glyph for 𨓲 can show a missing-glyph box. CJK Extension B contains rare, historic characters, so coverage depends on your font; the text still contains 𨓲, not a lookalike.
