What 𫓦 means
It is 釨 in simplified form, read as Mandarin zǐ.
The dictionary gloss is “hard” or “strong.”
What does 釨 mean in old Chinese?
An early glossary records it as a regional weapon name.
The Western Han Fāngyán (a regional Chinese glossary) is an early written witness. It records 釨 for 戟 (Mandarin jǐ), a pole weapon with a side blade, and compares Chu, Qin–Jin, and Wu–Yang terms for blade-free, larger, or hooked forms.
Why might 𫓦 appear as a box?
A font needs its exact glyph to draw it.
This supplementary CJK character may appear blank or boxed if a font lacks its glyph; the text can still contain 𫓦.

1Why does 𫓦 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
