What 𫊥 means
No; it appeared only in a withdrawn draft. A 1977 draft of a second round of mainland Chinese character simplification proposed 𫊥 for 蠹 (dù), an insect that eats books or wood. A 1986 government notice ordered the draft’s use stopped.

1Why does 𫊥 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.
