What 𫮏 means

It is recorded as a Zhuang word written in Sawndip.

The 2012 Dictionary of Old Zhuang Characters lists 𫮏 among forms under fai, “dam”; fai was the Latin-letter spelling used from 1957–1982.

In traditional use, Zhuang singers and ritual specialists wrote songs, stories, and scriptures in Sawndip. Some accounts place the script's use in the Tang period or earlier, but it developed regionally; that broad history does not date this individual form.

Why does 𫮏 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.
