What 𭯊 means
Its meaning depends on how Sawndip uses this graph.
This exact form is listed in the 1989 Ancient Zhuang Character Dictionary, a reference work on traditional Zhuang writing. Sawndip is the square script for Zhuang, a language spoken mainly in Guangxi and nearby parts of southern China; it adapts Chinese graphs and components to record Zhuang words.
Scholars debate Sawndip's beginnings: some trace them to the Qin–Han era; Tang inscriptions are cited as physical evidence, and Song accounts describe a mature, widely used script. A graph could represent a Zhuang sound, a meaning, or both, and identical-looking forms could mean different things in separate manuscripts. Read the graph in its surrounding Zhuang text rather than assigning a modern Chinese gloss to its parts.

1Why does 𭯊 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.
