What 𪉆 means
It is a bird-related character, but its old glosses vary. Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, parses 鴲 as 鳥 (“bird”) plus 旨 for sound. Later Chinese dictionaries also gloss it as a small blue bird or a young bird before its feathers grow.
Is 𪉆 a simplified form of 鴲?
Yes; they are the simplified and traditional forms of the same character. 𪉆 uses 鸟 where the traditional glyph 鴲 has 鳥; both retain 旨 as the sound-bearing element.

CJK Unified Ideograph-65E8
In 鴲, 旨 supplies the sound and 鳥 marks the bird category; 𪉆 keeps 旨 and uses simplified 鸟.
Questions people ask
1Why does 𪉆 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.
