What 𫗇 means
It is 䫻 in simplified form, meaning “great wind.”
Chinese dictionaries describe it as an analogical simplification, using the simplified wind component 风 where 䫻 has 風. Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled 100–121 CE, defines 䫻 as a great wind and explains the other component as a sound cue.
Did 䫻 also appear in place names?
Yes. Tang dynasty histories use it in the country name 謝䫻.
There, 䫻 is part of a foreign country’s name, not a description of the weather.

1Why does 𫗇 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.
