cjk unified ideograph-2a4e5

Historical variant of 𪓬

42214/42720

𪓥 is recorded as a historical variant of 𪓬, an old Chinese name for a turtle-like sea animal. An old commentary describes the creature as living in pale sand by the sea. By 997, Longkan Shoujian, a dictionary made to help readers understand Buddhist texts, records this variant; later pronunciation and character dictionaries preserve the link.

Why does 𪓥 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.
