What 𫓨 means
It is a variant form linked to 鈛.
A Tang dynasty tomb epitaph (a carved burial text) records 鈛 as a variant of 鉞. A dictionary from the Song dynasty, the Jiyun, connects 鈛 to 鍋, a cooking pot. 鉞 can mean an axe or the sound of carriage bells.
Why does 𫓨 show as a box?
Your font or renderer may lack its glyph.
As of 2026, fonts still vary in CJK Extension C coverage. If your renderer lacks 𫓨, it displays a missing-glyph mark. That does not change the stored character.

1Why does 𫓨 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.
