What 𩼿 means
The Shuowen Jiezi preserves the link in its fish entries.
This early Chinese dictionary records 𩺀 as a fish name and analyzes it with 魚 (“fish”) plus 𦟝, a component that hints at sound. Later Chinese dictionaries identify 𩼿 as a form in this line and link it to 鯽. Taiwan's Ministry of Education's 2021 Mandarin dictionary describes 鯽 as a commonly eaten fish.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𩼿 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.
