What 𪋧 means
Yes. 𪋧 and 麝 are alternate forms for the same Chinese word.
In Mandarin, 麝 is pronounced shè. The Han dictionary Shuowen describes a deer-like animal whose navel is fragrant; it parses 𪋧 as 鹿 (“deer”) plus 䠶 as the sound element.
Why might 𪋧 look like a box?
A box can mean your fonts lack this character.
If no available font covers this character, software may show a box or another fallback mark. That is a display failure, not a different character; the underlying text can still contain 𪋧.

1Why does 𪋧 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.
