What 𮀈 means
It stands for a spoken syllable in a sacred formula.
In Buddhist transcription, Chinese characters can approximate sounds from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Their role in a mantra is phonetic: the sound matters, not the character's usual word meaning.
Where is this character documented?
Its recorded source is a printed Buddhist canon.
Unicode's source marker USAT-00629 links to the SAT Daizōkyō text database. The listed source is the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō, a printed collection of Buddhist writings published in 1924–1934. That dates the edition preserving this form, not the character's origin.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𮀈 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension F block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
