What 𫏼 means

𫏼 writes the old Chinese word for a hand-pulled carriage.

An early use appears in the Book of Songs, a collection of ancient Chinese poems: a line pairs the word with carrying a load. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, explains 輦 as a cart pulled by people walking in front. From the Qin and Han dynasties onward, the word could specifically mean the ruler’s carriage. “辇下” (“beneath the ruler’s carriage”) became a literary name for the capital. A Ming-era commentary says subjects should not use this imperial term for their own carriage.

If your font lacks this rare Chinese character, it may appear as an empty box. The box marks missing glyph support; it does not turn 𫏼 into another character or change its meaning.

A literary Chinese form; its later carriage sense carries imperial rank.

In a courtly passage, it may mean the ruler’s carriage or the capital, not ordinary transport.

Why does 𫏼 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.
