What 𫋨 means
It names a cockroach in the Vietnamese language.
How did chữ Nôm develop?
It formed gradually as Vietnamese writers adapted Chinese characters.
One scholarly periodization calls its earliest stage Proto-Nôm and dates it to the 8th–9th centuries. Isolated Nôm characters appear in inscriptions from the 11th century; a functioning written tradition is clear by the 13th century. Nôm carried Vietnamese literature beside formal Chinese writing. Its forms ranged from borrowed characters to compounds that paired a meaning component with a sound clue.
In the 20th century, Quốc ngữ, the Latin-based Vietnamese script, became the everyday writing system.

1Why does 𫋨 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.
