What 𭾁 means

It names the vessel usually written 簋 (guǐ).

In Mandarin, 簋 is pronounced guǐ; the rare graph 𭾁 appears as an alternate written form of that character.

What was a gui vessel used for?

It held grain for meals and ritual offerings.

Bronze gui appear by the mid-Shang period, though few survive. In the Western Zhou, they became important ritual vessels, paired in even numbers with odd-numbered bronze 鼎 (ding) cauldrons at ceremonies and banquets. Their ritual importance faded in the mid-to-late Spring and Autumn period; by the Warring States period, bronze gui had largely left ritual sets.

What does 簠𭾁 mean?

Two separate vessel names.

In historical Chinese inventories, 簠𭾁 lists two separate vessels, not one compound word.

Why does 𭾁 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.
