What 𨽎 means
It is a rare variant of 墜, meaning “fall” or “drop.”
Chinese character history traces 墜 to an older form 隊; later writers added 土, the “earth” component, while 隊 supplied the sound. The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses 墜 as falling; classical texts also use it for losing something and for a hanging ornament.
This exact 𨽎 variant of 墜 is recorded as nonstandard in the 1671 Zhengzitong, a Chinese character dictionary. Its Mandarin reading is zhuì.

1Why does 𨽎 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.
