What 𭟱 means
It denotes thick, vigorous plant growth.
The Japanese character record lists モ and しげる as readings. It links this written form to 茂 rather than to a separate everyday word.
Why does Japan keep a separate form of 茂?
Exact glyph shapes matter in administrative records.
In 2011, Japan formulated its Kanji Character Infrastructure so family-register and resident records could handle names accurately. The Moji Jōhō list includes 𭟱 as a form of 茂.
An invisible variation selector can request a registered glyph form. Software or fonts that do not support the Moji_Joho sequence may not preserve that distinction on screen.

1Why does 𭟱 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.
