What 𨺨 means
It describes the form or appearance of a mound or hillside.
Jiyun, a Chinese character and pronunciation dictionary, glosses it as 阜貌, “the form of rising ground.” Taiwan’s CNS11643 database gives the Mandarin reading è (ㄜˋ). Taiwan’s Ministry of Education also groups it with 鄂 among variant forms, so the surrounding word or passage helps identify the intended record.
The Ministry’s variant-character entry traces a written form to Longkan Shoujing (997), a Chinese character dictionary compiled to help readers study Buddhist texts.
Why does 𨺨 show as a box?
Your font or app may lack this character’s glyph.
It belongs to CJK Extension B, so displaying it depends on a font with coverage for that range. CNS11643’s 2024 entry says Windows 10 and later include it in system fonts; a different font or app may still lack the glyph.

1Why does 𨺨 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
