What 𮁃 means
Read it through 礥: its classical senses include hardship and strength.
A Taiwanese Ministry of Education dictionary gives two Mandarin readings: xián for hardship or strength, and xín for a whip or hardness.
Why does 𮁃 appear in Japanese records?
It entered the proposal through a Japanese set for resident records.
In 2011, Japan’s proposal lists JTB690 in the unified character set for its Basic Resident Registration Network, a government system for resident records. The broader collection came from government registries, mainly for personal names; encoding it as standard text would let public services exchange these characters without local-only codes.

1Why does 𮁃 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.
