What 𭷪 means

It represents a Sanskrit sound, rather than a translated word.

Chinese Buddhist texts sometimes use characters for their sounds to write names and ritual phrases in Sanskrit, an old South Asian language. Reference works list 𭷪 as a variant of 𤚥 and connect 𤚥 with maṃ and, occasionally, vaṃ. In the Buddhist treatise Diamond Needle, 𭷪 appears inside a personal name written by sound.

Why does 𭷪 show as a box?

A box or other missing-character mark usually means the font or app cannot draw this character. The text can still contain 𭷪; a font with a glyph for it can display it.
