What 𫰋 means

𫰋 is a rare form of 妖, here an uncanny anomaly.

妖, read yāo in Mandarin, can name an abnormal or harmful uncanny thing, including a supernatural being. In Chunqiu Jingzhuan Jijie, a traditional commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals, the line “人弃常则妖兴,故有𫰋” follows a story about a snake omen. It says that when people abandon the usual order, ominous anomalies arise; the repeated 妖 makes the sense clear.

A rare classical Chinese written form of 妖.

In the cited line, 妖 means an ominous anomaly, not specifically a supernatural creature.

Why does 𫰋 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.
