What 𪐾 means
“Very black,” often with a sooty or unflattering edge.
In Latin-letter Vietnamese, “đen” means “black” and “sì” follows it. Here the phrase is shown in that spelling; 𪐾 writes the final word alone in Nôm.
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese character patterns to write Vietnamese speech. 12th-century steles use Nôm characters in local names, before the script became a vehicle for vernacular literature.
In Vietnamese, sì is emphatic and often unflattering or unpleasant; it is not neutral praise.

1Why does 𪐾 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.
