What 𪛍 means
A rare form of 篪, the Chinese name for a transverse flute.
Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, calls 䶵 a pipe instrument and says 篪 is its bamboo-radical form. Taiwan's Ministry of Education lists 𪛍 as a variant of 篪; a 1716 Kangxi Dictionary entry links it to 𪛌.
A Book of Songs poem pairs an older brother's xun (塤), a small vessel flute, with a younger brother's chí (篪), later a metaphor for sibling harmony.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𪛍 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.
