What 𭼙 means
Here it refers to illness or affliction. In the sutra’s fourth chapter, “gates” are paths to different outcomes: mistaken views lead to distress, while right view leads to safety. Elsewhere the same graph appears in lines about pain easing, which supports that contextual reading.
SAT, a University of Tokyo project digitizing the Taishō Buddhist canon, records this graph as a character needed to represent those texts digitally. The sutra 《佛說文殊師利淨律經》 is cataloged as a translation by Dharmarakṣa in 289 CE; that is the Chinese translation date, not the first known use of this written form.

1Why does 𭼙 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.
