What 𫅸 means
It writes the “hem” syllable in “hom hem.”
A late-17th-century Vietnamese Nôm poem, Thiên Nam ngữ lục ngoại kỷ, uses the phrase for a gaunt figure, comparing the body to a dry corpse and the face to an old monkey.
Chữ Nôm was a historical Vietnamese script that used Chinese characters and locally created forms to write Vietnamese. The official Unicode source for 𫅸 is Vietnam’s Hán-Nôm Coded Character Repertoire (2007), which places this form in that writing tradition.

1Why does 𫅸 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.
