What 𬠶 means
It belongs to chữ Nôm, a script adapted for Vietnamese.
After Vietnam’s independence in 939, scholars adapted Chinese characters to write Vietnamese. Nôm served vernacular literature. A 2007 Hanoi catalog of Chinese and Nôm characters records this form; a Vietnamese lexicon glosses it “poison.” The Latin alphabet displaced Nôm from mainstream writing in the early 20th century.

1Why does 𬠶 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.
