What 𭊔 means
It is documented as a variant form of the same character.
A note comparing versions of a Chinese Buddhist ritual text records 𭊔 in one version where another has 笑. Both passages use the character for laughing or smiling; the difference is the written form.
Why does 𭊔 show as a box?
The font may not include this rare character.
CJK Extension F contains rare and historical Han characters. Without a font glyph for 𭊔, an app may show an empty box or fallback mark, even though the underlying text still contains the same character.
An uncommon historical written variant; 笑 is the familiar form in ordinary modern Chinese.
