What 𩑟 means
It is a negative judgment on appearance. Chinese dictionaries list the Mandarin readings kān and qiān; kān is glossed as “ugly-looking.”
Song-era Guangyun, a dictionary arranged by sound, records kān; Jiyun preserves qiān.
A Ming-era dialect collection records Yuyao speakers in Zhejiang using spoken kān (堪) for ugly things and links that word to 𩑟. A Spring-and-Autumn-period bell inscription uses 𩑟 in a Chu king’s name.
Is 𩑟 an insult?
It can be, when directed at someone. The old gloss judges looks; read the surrounding sentence before taking a lone glyph as a personal remark.

1Why does 𩑟 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.
