What 𪍭 means
A 1666 printing of 字彙補 records it.
字彙補 is a supplement to a Chinese character dictionary; it defines 𪍭 as 麴. The date belongs to the printed record, not to the beginning of grain fermentation.
An older related form, 䴿, has broader dictionary senses: grain starter with a surface coating and fine grain fragments. Those extra senses belong to that related form and should not automatically be assigned to 𪍭.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𪍭 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.
