What 𪲻 means
The Vietnamese reading is chày, meaning “pestle.”
A mortar is a sturdy bowl; its pestle pounds what is inside. The dictionary glosses chày kình as a whale-shaped wooden log used to strike a large bell; cãi chày cãi cối is an expression for stubborn arguing.
What other writing tradition records it?
A 1989 dictionary of Old Zhuang characters includes it.
The Ancient Zhuang Character Dictionary was the first dictionary devoted to traditional writing for the Zhuang language. Its entry provides a separate record of this exact graph.
Why might 𪲻 appear as a box?
Your font may not have a glyph for it.
It belongs to CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C, an additional block for Han characters beyond the basic range. A blank or box usually means the display system cannot draw it; the text can still contain this exact character.
