Variant form of 博

𩫯 is a rare written variant of 博 (Mandarin bó), whose basic sense is “broad” or “extensive.” In Chinese writing, 博 is the standard form; dictionaries preserve 𩫯 as an alternate.

What 𩫯 means

Yes; it is a historical written form of 博.

《集韻》, an 11th-century dictionary that groups characters by sound, records 𩫯; writing on Western Zhou bronze vessels shows older forms of 博. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education links 𩫯’s changed side to a walled settlement and 博’s use as a state name. The classical Chinese character dictionary 《說文解字》 explains 博 as 十 (“ten”) plus 尃 (“spread”); researchers of ancient Chinese writing instead see a shield and argue that 博 first wrote 搏 (“strike”), later borrowed for “broad.”

Why does 𩫯 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.
