What 𪜿 means
Unicode hex input uses the same code in both apps. In Word on Windows, type 2A73F and press AltX; if other hexadecimal digits touch it, select only 2A73F first. In GTK 4, press CtrlShiftU, type 2A73F, then press Enter.
Does GZJW-00073 tell me how to read 𪜿?
No; it points to a catalog, not a reading. The Unicode chart associates 𪜿 with GZJW-00073, a source reference for Yinzhou Jinwen Jicheng Yinde, an index to inscriptions on bronze objects from ancient China's Yin and Zhou dynasties. The source tag is a catalog trail, not a direct citation to one inscription or a word gloss.
In a 2010 proposal to Unicode's ideograph review group, Toshiya Suzuki argued that some modern forms printed for this index lacked evidence beyond that book. He asked for those forms to be mapped back to the shapes on their bronze sources. The critique concerns the source set; it does not settle 𪜿's individual history.
Why might 𪜿 show as a box?
The font or app may not support this rare glyph. If the font or app lacks a glyph for it, the screen may show a box, a question-mark box, or blank space. The display failure does not change the underlying character.

1Why does 𪜿 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.
