Ancient graph for 饙

What 𫯉 means

It names the first, unfinished stage of cooking rice.

Boil rice until partly cooked, drain it, then steam it through; 餾 (liù) names the finishing stage. In the ancient Book of Songs verse 泂酌, the phrase 饙饎 refers to preparing food with gathered water.

𫯉 is a regularized transcription of a bronze-inscription graph.

Why does 𫯉 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.
