What 𪡍 means
It marks 吝 for the Vietnamese reading lấn.
Lấn means to encroach or overstep; modern Quốc Ngữ, Vietnam’s Latin-letter script, writes it as lấn.
Why does 𪡍 have a right-side mark?
The right-side ca mark signals a Vietnamese reading.
Chữ Nôm adapted Han characters for Vietnamese; the ca mark distinguished local readings from Chinese-derived ones. Its origin is debated; an inscription dated 1343 is early evidence for the script, not this form.
How do I type 𪡍 if it shows as a box?
Hex input enters the character; a font must supply its glyph.

1Why does 𪡍 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.
