What 𫉰 means
It refers to kubote, a hollow bowl made of leaves.
In Japanese, くぼて (kubote) is a vessel made by stacking oak leaves and tying them with thin bamboo strips. It held food offered to deities.
How are kubote and hirade related?
An old dictionary connects the readings; a ritual manual separates their vessels.
Shinsen Jikyō, an early Japanese character dictionary compiled around 898–901, records both readings: ひらで (hirade) and くぼて (kubote).
The Engishiki, a manual for Japanese court ceremonies compiled in 927, distinguishes the vessels: kubote is the hollow bowl, while hirade is the flatter, hat-shaped platter laid over it.

1Why does 𫉰 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.
