What 𬠵 means
It spells rwi, the Zhuang word for “bee.”
Standard Zhuang writes rwi in Latin letters; its pronunciation is transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as /ɣɯːi/. Sawndip adapts Chinese-character forms for Zhuang words by sound or meaning.
Is 𬠵 a Chinese character or a Zhuang spelling?
It is a Zhuang spelling in a Han-character script.
The broader script was in use by the Tang period (618–907), but that does not date 𬠵 itself. The Ancient Zhuang Character Dictionary (1989) records it on page 435, column 2, entry 3, character 2. A font must contain its glyph to display it; Google's 2017 description of Noto Serif CJK notes limited coverage of characters in the extended range that contains 𬠵.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𬠵 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.
