What 𪚲 means
It writes わき (roughly “wah-kee”) in the surname Shūwaki.
Japanese references classify it as kokuji—an ideograph made in Japan—and record it in the family-name spellings 集𪚲 and 𠍱𪚲. Both are read しゅうわき (Shūwaki, roughly “SHOO-wah-kee”); 𪚲 writes the わき (“wah-kee”) part.
Its older related form 𪚮 has a separate history. 說文解字, the early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, records 𪚮 as existing before the Qin era and defines it as the edge of a turtle shell. Japanese references treat 𪚲 as a kokuji used in surnames; that older dictionary meaning belongs to 𪚮, not automatically to 𪚲.
In a Japanese family-name record, it preserves the exact written form of that name.
As a standalone reply, it reads like an unexplained name character; the documented examples are surnames.

1Why does 𪚲 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.
