What 𫆻 means
It spells ngón: a finger or toe.
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese character shapes and their parts to record Vietnamese words.
When does Chữ Nôm first appear?
The script’s early evidence is disputed.
Premodern Vietnamese writers used it for vernacular verse and other texts alongside Classical Chinese, which served official writing. Later researchers could not locate a frequently cited inscription from 1313, while one study points to an inscription from 1173. Those dates belong to Chữ Nôm’s history, not the first appearance of 𫆻.

1Why does 𫆻 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.
