What 𭶮 means
It describes a person’s yellowed, gaunt appearance.
The Unicode reference glyph for 𭶮 matches 顲. The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary completed around 100 CE, explains 顲 through 顑顲, a phrase for a sallow, gaunt appearance. It also glosses 顑 as the look of someone who has not eaten enough.
The 1716 Kangxi Dictionary records another sense of 顲然: taking on a changed facial color or expression. Unicode’s source reference links 𭶮 to the Taishō Buddhist canon, a Japanese collection of Buddhist scriptures printed in 1924–1934; that edition date belongs to the book, not the invention of the character.

1Why does 𭶮 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.
