What 𪘿 means
It points to 齜: teeth meeting, or teeth showing.
The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled in 121 CE, defines 齜 as teeth pressing together and also as opening the mouth to show teeth. The related word appears as 齜牙 in traditional Chinese and 龇牙 in simplified Chinese, meaning to bare the teeth.
A Ming dictionary, Zihui (1615), is cited by the Kangxi Dictionary (1716) for linking 𪘿 with 𪗶. The same Kangxi entry groups 𪘿 with 𪘲 for teeth that are uneven.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𪘿 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.
